The Porsche needs that stagger as it has the weight of the engine over the rear wheels.

Over the years the 911s have always been notoriously "loose" cars due to their rear-engine design. Porsche engineers have done a lot to balance the car out with each redesign, and part of that includes quite a large stagger.
