Maybeee they can slash 15k to hit a 75k base price.
No LSD, no radio, front airbags only, single piston brakes, china tires/cast wheel, shit dampers, the worst possible column EPS (hydraulic is more expensive).

Source? I was involved in rear crash structure for a certain Cadillac with a bespoke engine & did some product planning at Nissan for an internship.

My math:

- crash cert: 18M
- emissions: 7M for two powertrains
- body R&D + tooling: 15M
- suspension r&d: 4M
- ESC, ABS, TC tuning: 3M
- random testing: 2M

TVR blew through 53M USD and they had an existing platform!! from Gordon Murray and used existing powertrains.

Maybe my 49M USD estimate on fixed costs was too low
