He has a point. Remember what the "M" stood for? Nowadays, it is more for
marketing.
How do you know Cayenne sales resulted in the CGT, GT3 and GT3RS? Boxster and 911 sales didn't figure in at all? How about Porsche's huge profits from its various money-market investments (eg. hedge funds) over the years? Its streamlining of production methods borrowed from ex-Toyota employees?
I'd be interested to know specifically what R&D on the Cayenne contributed to the excellence of the CGT, GT3, and GT3RS. And what government regulation called for the creation of the X5 & X6 M's.
