6 million Per Car? Lets say it costs $300,000 in parts to make a Veyron (I doubt it costs anywhere near this much). And lets say that the labor, facility costs, etc etc etc added up to $200,000 (which is a huge exageration considering Ferrari can make money selling entire build cars for this price). That leaves what $700,000 of the price per car to make up for R&D/tooling costs? So that gives them 210 million dollars to make up on the R&D tooling over the years. This seems like a reasonable R&D number. Now they are going to claim another 6 million dollar loss per unit? So it cost VW 2 Billion dollars in R&D and tooling to develop the Veyron? Umm yea sure. THats the cost to build one B2 stealth bomber or 3 747 400's. The car doesn't even have technology that started from scratch. The engine is based on the VW W8 the transmision is based on their sequential manuals used in the Gallardo, Audi's etc. I just don't see the math working like that.
