Sports cars dead? People buying those 400+ HP Tesla Model S car might disagree.

p.s.
Haven't the Cayenne/Pana's already been outselling the Box/Coxster and Carrera?

p.s.s.
Porsche haven't been selling the type of sports cars that made them famous in the first place since (for the most part) the 964 was retired.
Nearly all Porsches since then are either too big, or are too mushy in the turns, or AWD makes them really understeery, or the steering feels more and more mainstream like, or they've become too easy to drive fast... just like a regular over-powered sedan or SUV.
If anything they are making their sports cars more like their regular cars. But to be fair, they aren't leaky with expensive engine rebuilds as a regualr part of the ownership experience. So you get some good and you get some not soo good.
