The problem with that is they never do. As the rest of the brand moves upmarket they never keep selling something as pure as the earlier cars.

Porsche has the GT3 still.

Porsche has the GT3 still.

Which is heavier and available with a lot more luxury items than earlier models. Plus I'm not convinced the next model will survive as well as this one. I think the fact that this engine isn't compatible with the PDK may have helped the cause.

Edit: Also, the 911 hasn't really made a huge move upmarket, and the GT3 has been the homologation model for a while. Which probably helped dampen the corpusculence a bit.
