The accountants are the only ones that know that.

The car has sold maybe 150k units globally. Given a 10% profit margin the car may have recouped $330-$400 million.

Example of extreme development costs: $6 billion for the Ford Contour/Modena line. I'm sure this car didn't cost near that, but $500-$750 million is probably in the ballpark.
