A Porsche is nothing more than a symbol of power. It's purpose is to make us more attractive to potential mates.
Wealth and it's accoutrements have displaced the heavy clubs wielded by our ancestors. Prehistoric women were probably more likely to breed with the man who is a good hunter and has the ability to keep the wolves out of the cave at night, securing the safety of the offspring. In modern times, wealth has a similar effect of keeping life's unpleasantries at bay, hence women are attracted to "successful" men.
For men it's simpler. Every female attribute that men find sexually attractive related to fertility and healthy chromosomes. We are attracted to young, fertile women. Facial and body symmetry which are universally equated with attractiveness correlate strongly with a low rate of chromosomal errors. Young beautiful women make healthier children.
We are all prisoners of our own biology.
