The amount of development time (wind tunnel testing, analysis, etc) and the cost of completely hand building something out of the world's most exotic materials is the reason it costs so much. You guys who think they just mark it up know nothing about the cars. |

Seriously, Verruckt is dead on with this one. The reason Ferraris didn't cost 300Gs in the 70 was because........it was the 70s!! Gas was like $0.50/gallon, everything was cheap in relation to inflation. A car that is built by hand and not by an assembly line is always gonna cost more (with the exception of kit cars, I know some smart-ass would try to chime in with that). Carbon fiber, aluminum, rare leather, racing technology, it all adds up, you're definitely not just paying for the name. Shit, even the interior is worth more than most of our cars. Pinafarina uses exquisite leather and hand stitches everything. It's kind of like buying a top-of-the-line Armani suit, you're not paying so much for the name as for the way it's carefully hand-crafted out of fine textile. Take the Enzo, for example: They did years of testing and tuning, using race-inspired technology in the development of their powerplant. Justly, the motor itself is worth $200,000!! The ceramic brakes are worth $24,000 alone. In the end, you do end up paying for the name itself (consider yourself priviledged to be paying for the name, the history, the prestige), but it's equal to very little when you take into consideration the cost, time and labor of building one of these automobiles.
