You are absolutely correct. The recent price increases by Porsche on their 911 variants are getting out of hand.
People forget that Porsche has some of the highest profit margins in the car industry (at least at their price point), and it has been reported that the 911 models in particular are making almost 50% profit for Porsche each time a car is sold. As a comparison, the highest profit margin reported in the BMW lineup is ~25% for high-end SUV models (still not great for customers, but way better than Porsche).
The price hikes described in the post above are not introduced to compensate for production cost increases for Porsche cars. The company just wants to maintain its ~50% profit margin on 911s (or worse, increase it).
