Motor vehicles are generally noticeably more expensive outside the US. I think Canada is an exception.

I went to the US & UK Porsche Build Your Own pages and came up with the following for a base Cayman with two options: Porsche Torque Vectoring (PTV), and the Sport Suspension, which was one of two choices that had to be ordered to get PTV - the other choice was PASM, the active suspension system. Pricing was:

UK - $67,272 + $13,454 VAT (yes, 20% sales tax!) = $80,726

US - $56,150 + $5,615 (10% South Gate sales tax) = $61,765

I'll bet $0.14 that the Porsche costs more in Germany than it does in the UK. Just a wild guess, really.
