Everything other than that is just amenities for street going cars but the car is still the same. If Porsche changes the race car drivetrain lay-out(by swapping the engine to midship and adding 2 cylinders), the street car has to follow suit. This isn't NASCAR. And I don't see how the rear-seat is a non-issue either, just because you can't fit adults in the back doesn't mean you can't fit your two kids in the back, your wife in the passenger seat and some picnic goodies in the very decent sized trunk. Try that in ANY super car, and this IS a super car. I think you're paying to much attention to the (non-existent) American market and forgetting that this is still an everyday car in Europe that you can drop the kids off at school and drive to work.
