It's not similarities and similar part numbers. It's the same bloody car. The floor pressings. The panels. The suspension components. The dash. The door cards.

The front 2/3rds is literally the same car. On the Boxster S, it's even the same brake rotors and calipers.

The 981 to 991 relationship is very nearly the same. OK, they gave the 981 unique exterior panels. But that's the just the clothes covering the expensive bits underneath. It's the same approach. For instance, the 981 has unique exterior door panels, the the inner door structure is once again shared. Overall, it's still one architecture available in either mid or rear-engine configurations.
