Add in that a Supra will likely have a stupid dealer markup for six months to a year and you can get a Cayman for a few grand over invoice without trying and your price delta is still amazingly large, but it isn't nearly as big as some folks are making it out to be.
A base Cayman GTS doesn't come with:

Auto climate control
Auto dimming mirrors
Rain sensing wipers
Heated seats
Power seats
Memory seats
Power folding exterior mirrors
Keyless entry and go
Navigation
Apple CarPlay
Upgraded sound system
Auto high beams
LED headlights
Heated steering wheel
Automatic transmission
Lane change assist

I get all of these things on a $55k Supra. I can easily option a Cayman GTS for $100k+ with these options. Wait 6 months and Toyota dealers will be giving these away at invoice.
Most of that fluff is part of a $1700 option package. And yeah, the PDK is expensive. But you're still not going to get near $100k just putting that stuff on. Not even $90k.

And why pay for both Apple/Android and Nav? I like that Porsche lets you leave off the overpriced nav.

Picking nits, but Lane Change is still an option on the Launch Edition. Fact is that the real delta is under $30k. Still a humorous 50+% premium, but no where near the 100% that you started with.
