The 993 was expensive to build, hence why Porsche brought in Toyota to streamline production and cut product costs. It’s why the 986/996 was able to be sold at a reasonable price and still turn a profit.

The 500E is rare and special, hence the high price. One of the first super sedans, hand built by Porsche, developed by Porsche. Saying that Xxxxx car is better in every way is sorta missing the point. A brand new Camry will run circles around my 911SC, but I wouldn’t consider it a substitute either.

Btw, I can’t wait for the RS2 to be legal for import. I need to start saving my money.
