The company is owned by VW and yes, from what I've read and heard every car they sell is at a loss, but not by millions but at most a few hundred thousand, but that is for "stock."
I met someone when I was in LA that had one, along with a Porsche GT and some other crazy cars. I got to see the car and take a look inside, but he wouldn't let me sit because he thought the buttons on the back of my pants would tear the leather... I offered to take off my pants just to sit in it
Adding in other options like radio, leather choices and types, stitching, etc., add up really really quick. Plus the costs for maintenance and repairs is through the roof. I'm sure the company breaks even or gets close to it but they will continue to make it as it holds the record for worlds fastest production car... and most expensive too
