Why are super sports cars so expensive? For the price of a Lamborghini, you can get 20 economy cars, 10 sport compacts, or 5 pretty good luxury cars. Somehow I don't think it's entirely based on supply and demand. There's got to be something else to it.
I'm not asking for general things such as "quality" or "name recognition," but I want something more specific. For instance, a good example of why they're so expensive could be that 12-cylinder motors have three times the cylinders (and therefore three times the valves, cranks, valvesprings, etc.) as four-cylinder motors. Another reason could be the wanton use of exotic materials.
I don't know. It still doesn't quite add up to me.
