Is that an actual figure or just a tongue-in-cheek quote from the CEO?

Well, they're quoting him, and people get impressed by big numbers...

Veyron is a kind of research experiment for VAG. It might be $2M for an example, but they lose something like $1.5M per car. It's just like the Lexus LFA being a test bed for carbon fiber manufacturing techniques.

Its a tongue in cheek made up number.
