The Porsche I was referring to was the Cayman.  The Cayman is a 
completely new model, and so needed to be completely documented.  They 
did, however, engineer it to perform not-quite-as-well as they could 
have, deliberately, because they didn't want it outperforming the 911. 
It's not the first time Porsche has pulled that.  Alfa Romeo and Ferrari 
do it all the time too.
