Well, they use also tons of carbon instead of iron/aluminum to lower weight, so that price may be justifiable. Maybe.

Well sometimes yeah, and then there is the nylon strap instead of a handle on the door for your $300K car.

Real badges replaced by sticker badges for aerodynamic drag / weight had me laughing just a BIT more than the flagged 'door handles'.

There's probably less carbon on the base models, than on the heavier high end models.

That's "add lightness".
