[Q4P]

I8 has to be the one of the ugliest / weirdest looking cars on the planet and it's a car built with the purpose of being Eco friendly; supercars/halo cars were never meant to be that.

As far as parts costs; since when does a manufacturer look at profits / costs in developing a super car? I think they know from the beginning that the car won't sell well and will be a niche crowd car. The Veyron sure as anything doesn't bring in much of a profit according to Clarkson and other publications.
