Your attempt at some sort of comparative sarcasm has failed.
First, a study published recently cited that 90% of the concept technology found at audio shows makes its way into actual consumer products. Unlike in audio.
Secondly, if you are familiar with how high performance cars like Ferraris are built, and I bet you are not, they are worth every penny paid. The part county, quality, and finish are pushed to the human limit. The $25,000 breaking system in Ferrari will save your life.
In high audio there is no quantifiable price to performance measurement. Being mostly subjective, there is plenty of room for gouging and worse.
