The 918 is a $850,000 super car.

That Porsche finances a bunch of more affordable cars doesn't provide much evidence about how many people finance $500,000+ vehicles.

Additionally, if you're in the market to buy a $850,000 car as an investment then you probably have better assets to use as leverage (Property, stocks, etc) which are less prone to suddenly becoming worthless, as a car would be in the event of a major accident.
