Well ... Let's look at other successful car manufacturers and a few of their model progressions.

Cayman ... Cayman S ... Cayman R
911 ... 911S ... 911C4 ...911C4S ...911GT3 ...911Turbo ... 911Turbo S
Corvette ... Corvette GS ... Z06 ... ZR1
Audi A () ...Audi S () ... Audi RS () .... R8 ... R8plus
Ford Mustang (6 cyl) ....Mustang 5.0 .... Shelby GT350 ... Shelby Supercharged
Mercedes ....Mercedes AMG
BMW ... BMW M
Ferrari 360 .... 360CS
Ferrari F430 ... F430 Scud

There are plenty of examples. Nothing wrong with starting out with a base model and then offering future upgraded models. It keeps the existing model line fresh and prolongs its life.
