Interesting. I presume the wider tires and suspension upgrades offer performance advantages, and are not purely cosmetic.
But I can't think of another model where the same value equation applies.
For example, BMW offers "sports" packages with "M" car styling cues - some like the ZHP even upgraded engine performance -- but even close physical clones don't even whiff M3 prices. Not an exact comparison, but I'm struggling to find one.
Not doubting it is true, just noting it is unusual.
