Different example: oldskool 911 Turbo (for example 993 Turbo - what a motoring marvel). With the 911 gone turbo as standard feature nowadays, the "turbo" name had to be repositioned (see for example here). And so Porsche released for example a "Taycan Turbo" ...which has no turbo ! |
As i can understand is that for marketing purposes they change the name to Competition Sport. How would they justify the M5 CS if the CS meant Coupe Sport or even Club Sport? They want to use the famous moniker for marketing purposes and it's very clear. Sad thing - the CS or even the CSL will become a standard badge on almost every model just like the Competition. The marketing is too strong nowadays, and they for sure want to take advantage of the CS/CSL.
