    Wow. I knew they made a lot, but I never guessed it would be that much.

    That is a big difference.

    When you consider that Porsche is rumored to be buying control of VW you need to realize the money is coming from somewhere.

    Another thing to consider is from a material point of view; leather, metals, plastics etc., and labor, is a Porsche really that more expensive to build than a Miata? Grandted a difference for the quality of the material and some factor for engineering cost.

    Owing a 2nd gen miata, I can say while it's an excellent car, it's definitely got a bit of the parts-bin special aspect to it. What impresses me about Porsche is that they must be doing an excellent job of controlling costs with such a small model lineup.

    The R&D process still has to be very expensive for them. Every year the cars have more trick materials, custom composites, ceramics, etc.

    And the things are built like tanks. Even old 911s are impressively solid.

    The update explains: the 20K figure is just rubbish, the money came from investments.

    But I am sure Porsche still makes tons of money on every one of their overpriced round-mobiles :)
