A friend of mine is high up in a consulting firm and has a lot of experience in the auto industry.
He said that, as a percentage of the sale price, the profit margin is highest for the Cayenne and Macan (around 35% net profit after expenses), and somewhat lower for the sports cars (around 25% net profit after expenses).
In the 911 range, he said the profit margin (again, as a percentage) would be a little lower for a stripper GT car as compared to an average non-GT 911, but when the GT cars are well optioned the profit margin is about the same or slightly higher. He thinks the profit margin for the ST and SC is probably about the same as the GT cars, so they aren't really 'money grabs'.
In absolute dollars per vehicle, the profit will generally be higher for the more expensive cars, though Cayennes will overlap with non-GT 911s.

PTS, Exclusive Manu interior, carbon roof, PCCB, buckets, gloss black crap options, etc. etc. Profit margin out the yin-yang.

I see more 992 GT3 around than 992 TTS ,
I have to check with my dealer how many total they sold of each
but my gut feeling is they build more TTS than GT3

The main reason to get the turbo instead of turbo s is because standard features of the S are not wanted. Most people want those features and aren’t trying to save a bit of money. Also, turbo s is a President car, turbo is a Vice President car. Turbo can make more sense as a track car, but not many people track these things.

Both of you deserve each other.
I would ask you to stop polluting this thread but it’s already a cesspool.

Or did you miss all of those posts that littered this thread about the impending Recession, the Stock Market collapsing, and along with it ADM's?
Are the mods going to go back and delete all of those posts from a year ago too?
Or do you just "cherry-pick" who you believe is "littering" a thread?

RS just transacted for $405k + premium. Not too many crossing the line lately, so nice data point.
