I'd guess more like $80k+. I mean, it's the exact same engine they're using for the GT300 race car, a beefier transmission to handle the extra torque, 18 inch wheels, a widebody with functional aero, a carbon roof, a functional GT wing, probably coilovers + full aftermarket suspension arms + a locking clutch-type LSD, etc.... I mean, it's not a full on SuperGT car, but it's about as close as one anything somewhat still resembling a street car could possibly be. It's literally a factory time attack car + some pretty lights. Not anywhere near cheap in the aftermarket and even less cheap coming from an OEM tuning branch...
