IMO any two seat sports car is a toy.
So how much should a factory provided motor cost in a $50,000 car? I wonder how much a factory supplied motor costs for a Corvette which has a much less sophisticated motor? Remember Porsche ships them with most of the accessories but GM sends a long block that doesn't have the fuel injection, water pump, manifolds, etc.
No Porsche motor has been bullet proof. Cars are an expense, not an investment.
