Let´s make a fast calculation.

This car is made of almost 300 parts. Most of them had to be modeled and drawn in CAD, requested, ordered, shipped, checked and mounted.
In total half a year work for an single engineer like me. I have 30 years of working experience and made parts for Porsche and the Airbus A380.
That meas 40K for engineering If this was not my private hobby...

Only the machined parts for one car and the engine will cost me more than 10K. Difficult to say how much handwork has to be done, especially on the frame.
The tires and rims should be made only for this car. That will cost 5K for the first car because a mold has to be done
but it is getting cheaper the more I let produce.

We will end up at 20 to 25K for one car out of 10 of a limited edition.
I'm just thinking...

The engine is close to finish. That took me one year. This Winter the tube frame will be done. I keep everyone informed...

The problem with photorealistic renderings is that it looks like you are finished but you did not even start...

Emilio, that's because you're still infected with quarter scale :-)

I started to built the tube frame. First of all cutting and bending tubes. Therefore it’s good to have a drawing in 1:1…

I hope so...it is my first complete tube frame. I used my lathe as a milling machine, which came out really good.
