To be a "collector Porsche" they can be NA or then can Turbo, just as long as they don't make tens of thousands of them a year.
Those days are firmly in Porsche's past. They'll sell 200K Porsches this year. Keep that up for five years and you're up to your eyeballs in Porsches.
Not enough buyers care whether they are NA or Turbo to "boost" prices above their original stickers.
Then my 04 996 Targa is destined to be a collector car, they only made 508 that year
