Thats the disclaimer they use at the bottom of the screen on the ads.
To work out the XR8 price they would have to start at the XR6's RRP, not what they are selling them for to clear old stock.
They would probably start at XR6 Turbo RRP cause they have 18's etc, and then work out how much extra the V8 will cost.

Nobody buys an XR6 at RRP and the truth is no one ever will. So basing the V8 prices on something that is already unrealistic like XR6 RRP is just coming up with pie in the sky pricing for the V8 which is equally untenable.
Yes a minority will buy a V8 with a huge premium, a majority wont. FPV seem happy enough with the minority so maybe the large premium these people pay is enough to subsidise the loss in voume? If it makes business sense then fine, but it unquestionably leaves a lot of potential customers sidelined.
When the Falcon platform as we know it has so little time left, I'm not sure how FPV is going to pay back and profit from Miami with its current sales volumes.
