Carrera GT and the Le Mans cars don't count, they're in completely different price brackets.
What's the second one?
Emyr-
904 It's in a different price bracket too, maybe a couple of mil.
Of course they count, they count more, they are Porsche saying 'we're going to build the fastest car we can and it's going to be mid-engined'. If they wanted to prove rear engined was faster they wouldn't do that, cos it proves the opposite.
Hefty
Mid engined, bit faster than a 911.
All manufacturers have a hierarchy, Porsche's isn't there to convince the world rear engined is faster than mid-engined, it's just there to sell a 911 for more money than a Cayman.
Even when they released the 911 they had a mid-engined car that was quicker :
And then there's this:
Anyway, point is, Porsche don't argue the rear engined layout is better than any other, it's just how they do the 911.
