That's exactly what it is - except for communications and some safety equipment.
The one thing that stood out for me is the fact that the chassis is seam welded. I have no idea what that costs to do, but the torsional rigidity they quote is off the charts. That's worth a lot on the track.
It's also hard to calculate the per vehicle cost of a year's worth of r&d engineering.
Also: that price includes $5,000 dealer margin - I mean, yeah - still a lot of money - but it's hard to say whether or not it represents good value.
