I don’t understand any of this premise. You can buy hundreds of Porsches for sale across the price spectrum new or used.

People buying them up to tow with their cybertrucks 😆

Talks about the shift in Porsche making the 911 much more unobtainable (special editions, GT cars, etc.) and prioritizing exclusivity over getting cars in the hands of drivers. A shame really if you ask me, but profits drive business and low volume sports cars aren’t easy to make money on. Thankfully there is the Porsche used market that’s much more accessible as long as you aren’t after some unicorn like the 918.

Maybe you just didn’t know OP but its been like that for awhile. Maybe im not old enough but getting a GT3 or a limited edition Porsche was always near impossible. It was like buying a Rolex where you had to have business with the dealership to be even considered to get an allocation

I think you can compare the GT cars to Ferrari. The other models not really.

The modern Ferraris are all turbo charged and automatic though. Gt3 is still manual, light weight, and NA.

But you are also comparing entry level Ferrari to top of the line porsche 911s. Like a top of the line civic type r is going to hold better value than an entry level bmw m240i at 50k.
