not the seats not the headliner not the gearbox not the engine not the brakes ect
as was established above, the initial cost of the vehicle was not based on the materials utilized
wanna see why an 80s benz cost so much brand new in 1985 ?
cut a front seat open - you will see reinforced steel that will hold up in event of a rear end collision
THAT my friend is over engineering
granted Porsche had a different design criteria but over-engineered i dont see it
dont get me wrong love the 911, great car, but this aint no 80s benz we are talking about

The gearboxes rule of thumb in the early cars was that they could handle double the hp
And Porsche was an engineering company at heart, not an interior company
You won’t find their strengths there
