I realize that - I was thinking that it will only go in 1 car at one time - so no economies of scale.

I Don't agree on price either. This car could not be in 911 price range.(...) I would assume this would be marketed by the VW Group in a similar way to what a theoretical Cayman RS would be. Just at or below base 911 price would be the peak for a viable car.

You are talking about 2 Porsche models, vs. 1 Audi and 1 Porsche.
They weren't shy of making the R8 a competitor to the 911 Turbo - in both price and performance.

75k base price would be my best educated guess. In other words the same as a well optioned ZCP E92 M3 with DCT.

It will have a more exotic construction in it than any other Audi bar the R8, will be sold in fewer numbers than any other Audi bar the R8, etc. Their numbers simply won't add up otherwise.
Let's agree to disagree.
Even at $75k, I see no reason not to buy a CPO 997.2 C4S instead of this.
