Not sure if its true imi i think it was on topgear they mentioned it cost nearly 5million to build one. They did it as an excersize to show what they were capable of building as a company. Im sure they wouldnt mind taking a loss if there getting the reputation of making the fastest production car in the world. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
