Guess who pays the bills for the specialty models? The Panamera and Cayenne purchased by the soccer moms and old people lol. Without those models providing the profit we probably wont see the GT4, GT3RS, etc. |
People forget this and the fact that the macan, cayenne and Panamera are all segment leaders from inception. Unless you don't have the money, the macan, Panamera and cayenne are far better than any of their competitor and far more special and built to a much higher caliber. And performance at the top end (you pay to play) is exceptional. They make tons of profit on these high selling models which lead to the models as you said.
It also gave people who drive a 911/boxster/Cayman better options for another car from the porsche brand rather than having to buy a subpar product from some other manufacturer. It has played out extremely well to say the least and will continue with the mission e and hopefully they decide to make a small sedan too (which means big trouble for those in that segment).
