Good because I heard from an inside source in the engineering department at Porsche that they put in this "garage queen" software in where if you don't drive the car more than 2,500 miles per year the car self destruct.

Sorta like your 2011 RS.

Buy up as much limited supply as possible and jack up prices. There's only so long they can have their money tied up as expensive showroom furniture.
If I was McLaren, I'd offer current Porsche owners a discount voucher to stick it to Porsche.

That article has zero impact on supercar bubbles popping.
The only thing that'll fix the brand new supercar valuations is supply, or less demand from supercar buyers.

An economic slowdown will. It's coming. Most of the demand is being fed by funny money and speculators.
An industry & economic slowdown affects all cars, "super" or not.

If you are correct there will a lot of hair on the floor from all those haircuts. Pigs usually end up with nothing but mud.

Porsche remains keen to defend its high margins by not pushing sales growth, von Platen at the North American International Auto Show said in Detroit.
We need to retain the brands exclusivity, safeguard residual values and also ensure profitability of our dealers, he said. We wont push volumes.

It's a very interesting experiment in sub-brand bifurcation inside a conglomerate overloaded with sub-brands. Eventually they will apply model segmentation down to the family or individual and no one will need to choose any more. The computer will tell us which car to buy based on who Google says we are. VAG and Porsche are to be congratulated on their prescience.
