Porsche is supposed to be a driver's car.
At any rate, selling another roadster, when they already sell the one that sets the bar in it that class seems really redundant. If the person can't afford or doesn't want to buy new then Porsche can easily steer them toward their CPO division and provide their Porsche financing options.
The point of expanding a product line is to capture more types of drivers. For instance the Maccan probably appeals to urban drivers needing a hauler with some winter driving clearance.
The 918 appeals to billionaires, can't think of many others who would drop that kind of money on just a car. The Panamera is cross shopped with other giant sedans lile the 7 series or that monstrously large Jaguar whatever.
If anything Porsche would be wise to offer a shorter version of the Panamera to reel in mid-sized luxury sedan buyer.
They already have the Panamera coupe (aka what is now the Carrera).
^ a.k.a an expensive, rebranded Volkswagen.
The only Porsche that should be subjected to a four are those weighing less than 2,000 lbs.
Modern Porsches need flat 6's (turbo or supercharging is up to the owner).. or maybe flat8 too, why not. Allegedly there is a development Cayman rolling around inside of Porsche with a flat8.

I don't know...my 951 turbo with a 4 begs to differ...
