Don't forget the 4961cc road-tax per year $6872.
Can pay about 9yrs road tax for RX-8.

Hi bro good question. I cant answer you except the insurance quote is accurate. Let me give an 'amateur view'. If they insure competitvely for certain models and there are a lot of same type of cars insured with them, the risk is spread between many cars and the chances that they write off 7 RX8 (for example) is much less than they write off 1 lambo!! All u need is the 1 lambo owner go crazy they are down $700k. What is the chance that 7 RX8 owner go crazy at the same time and write off 7 RX8??

Maybe my explanation is not right but my point is maintaining these supercars cost much much more than one usually expect.
Cheers

Its not only the value that the insurance company base on. A WRX which is cheaper than an RX8 and has an insurance premium almost twice of the 8. The other factors that insurance company take into considerations are, capacity, FI or NA, no. of doors, statistics of claims made(eg. EG6 a lot of accident, higher insurance), your job status(desk boundor running ard), etc......
