Interesting comparison - Lambo's ave revenue per vehicle was 232,000 euros. Ford's was $34,000. Lambo's 20% profit margin is yuge!

Well I made the comparison in the context of the story.... Despite the inflation, etc... Inflation might stop me from buying xzy, but it's not bothering the wealthy people... That said, 5000 cars... Might be a good number for lambo, but I mean ford made almost that many gt500s... Like it's not some staggering number of cars

Yep. But it is interesting to see how profitable a "boutique" brand ( they are actually part of Audi, aren't they) can be compared to huge mass producers. Their profit margin was more than double that of "more money than God" ExxonMobil last year. I wonder if boutique bike producers can similarly rake in bigger profits or perhaps that's totally different. :shrug:

I mean think about in this sense... Lambo is using alot of audis "bin" parts... little shit that gets forgotten about when building a car... power window motors, entertainment systems, switches, door handles, lights, etc... Plus they have access to audis ability to mass produce anything... Such as a cast alloy control arm...engine blocks.. Molded parts..glass.. Things that would cost a real small company alot to make... But lambo is still charging astronomical prices

Very cool, except for the “we won’t let you order an Aventador” BS. Inquiring strangers with no business asking are curious wat kind of deposit if any is required to order one a them Huracans. How good of a friend is he?

Childhood friend. I’ll ask about the deposit. I was standing right there when the sales guy told him orders are closed on the aventador. He said orders are closed on the standard huracan too. I’m just upset I won’t get to drive an aventador yet.

hahaha...WHOA...like would the ACTUAL "Grumpys Toy IV" be out driving around? I mean that has to be the one of the most valuable 67 (converted to 68) camaros there is. Pretty nice looking replica if it is one.

I remember my dad telling me stories about racing Bill Jenkins....thought he was a dick as I recall.
