No wonder Fifth gear couldn't crack the double ton with an Esprit they weren't spending enough....

(OK I'm obviously missing something. Why is this so much money?)

Very nice for an Esprit (bar the gangsta tints) but holy macaroni! Half a mil!

Don't forget for the money you also get patents... Although surely if they are patents then he could tell the world what they are (as they'd be patented!). Maybe they are secret special 450,000 pound worth of patents.

Is the patent not for the exhaust system?

That's my possibly incorrect reading of the above.
