I could write a book about my feelings on this subject but I’ll say the saddest part is Porsche is no longer an aspirational brand. The 30-something’s in my office who are car enthusiasts and all making solid upper middle class salaries now see a Porsche 911 as completely out of reach. These are people who are passionate about performance cars which BMW and Mercedes-Benz will happily sell them when Porsche will not.
Instead of becoming lifelong customers they despise the brand and have been complaining about Porsche being overhyped. To them the GT3 RS is this years equivalent to the Lamborghini Aventador because it is a fast, paddle shift car that requires little skill to drive and is more likely to be owned by a Tik Tok influencer for clout, or mega-bucks collector than an enthusiast owner.
