Not really exotic. Far simpler than my wife's '11 BMW. The chassis is Audi. Since I have the base model the engine is Audi. The body, interior, suspension (and subframes), and remainder of the driveline are Porsche.
One of the things that impresses me about this car is how easy it is to work on. The hood is huge; open it up to access not just the engine but the top of the suspension components as well. Underneath, drop the aero pans and you have complete access.
Porsche owners have a high percentage of DIYers and the manufacturer understands that. A pdf version of the factor repair manual is free. Parts are readily available online through dealerships and specialty retailers. Most of the parts are available at Rock Auto. My local O's and A's carries some of the more common parts like spark plugs....
