    I was reading in the sunday times today the bugatti are going to increase the price by 10% and also increase production from 50 to 70 supercars a year.this will decrease the waiting list which is over 1 year.

    do you not think the price is high already? and are they just being greedy.

    they are making a huge loss on each one. Because of the price of all the researching they budgeted that each of the cars of the quota would cost in the region of €4 million all told.

    The old saying "If you have to ask how much it costs then you cannot afford it."

    VW knew they were never going to make a profit on this car. It was the ultimate dream in engineering that they wanted to accomplish.

    When you build a 1000hp car to go from 0-60 in under 3secs and top out at 400kmh+ you're in kind of a design straight jacket. I think they did an amazing job considering every inch is designed for function over form
