Those are factory units, no aftermarket/custom ones needed so it's really cheap and drop in. No need to get alternate housing etc, just the CHRA cores.

Ferrari could have easily made $150-200k sports car but that would have hurt their brand image/value.

The issue is most of these CEOs are just looking at results for next 2-3yrs and don’t care about nurturing a brand over next decade.

Most CEO's aren't incentivized to look that far down the road, they keep their jobs by delivering in the short term. Just a sad fact, one that I've witnessed at the large cap companies I've worked for in the past.

The new M5 looks massive. I still can't believe it's so heavy.
