As anybody else bothered by the price gap in that ranking? I mean we know all about how firms often price their "flagship" so it covers ALL the R&D / exotics components and still "loses money" -- that is the oft heard lament of firms like Ferrari, Aston-Martin, Porsche, McLaren and others in the "supercar" business.
That said their "hypercars" really do have such immense amounts of bleeding edge tech that it almost makes sense to pay the premium if you are in fact a lotto winner or lucky enough to be born into the Saudi royal family --
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aston_Martin_One-77http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Porsche_918http://www.caranddriver.com/mclaren/p1http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LaFerrariWhen these "ne plus ultra" examples of automotive art / engineering are priced 8-10x more than mere 'super car' I can almost grok what sorts of "mission to Mars" commitment is needed from the firms.
When I look at the specs or even the admitted 'fancy' machining no doubt these things are much more complex to build the more "down to earth" $22K McIntoshish but really 10x??
Anybody else feel that way?
