Bugatti making a loss per car- need evidence help!

[Mooby]

You know, I reaslie that the Veyron wasn't a money making venture on Bugattis part, but it seems odd they were willing to lose so much on it - I mean if they set the price at say £1Million, or even more, I kinda doubt it would've effected sales very much!

I dunno just a thought I had!

How much would they have had to pay in advertising costs to get the bugatti name so well thrown around for so many months though...  Now when anyone thinks 'Fast Car', they think of the name Bugatti, whereas before the Veyron that was probably not the case.  Be interesting to see their overall sales of other Bugattis for a couple of years before the Veyron, and after, and see if there's a jump.

Could be that they haven't really lost as much as you might think.

When will you be able to buy a 2nd Hand Veyron for £2000 or so I wonder?

The Veyron is a prime example of fantastic marketing.
they lose a few million on each car, big deal , it's peanuts compared to how much advertising they'd have to do to get as much publicity.
Like Tom said , now when I think of Bugatti I think "worlds fastest , brilliantly engineered car" , not that i'm gonna buy on like.   

Genius.

Too bad that in a couple of years the GT1 will kick it's arse. 'Only' 950bhp but weighs over half a metric tonne less than the Veyron.

Yeah, I am trading my GT for one.

Already been on the phone to Porsche, they're going to lend us one for a week for a review on the site.

My ahole of a mate, is pissing me off. Was watching fifth gear last night and tiff was happning to test out the bugatti veyron. I said and i still believe correct that bugatti makes a loss per car of the figure of £5 million. even tho they sell it for £800k as its an engineering excersise to prove to the automotive engineers and companies of their skills to produce the if not one of the best cars in the world.

Hes like "think about it" and repeats about a million times. that he thinks otherwise. Ive found some supporting evidence but hes a sap and want something concrete.

Whats your thoughts! i need some more evidence on it so i can ruin him.

cheers
