and isn't it weird that Porsche didn't solve the problem themselves?

A lot of cars do it; some are unbearable with anything other than the window open a crack.

Nice to know someone has come up with a solution!

I assume Porsche do not assume that this infringes their warranty?

I understand in a GT3 you might want to hear the engine / exhaust noise, but doesn't your approach a) just provide significant wind noise and b) cause the air con to operate inefficiently?

I do close it when the wind noise exceeds the ability to hear the exhaust note and when using air con, which in the UK is not very often at all.

I feel more connected to the machine when I can hear it smile
