That's not the prototype, just the regular production car.
The prototype had exhausts out the side.

No, I had a long conversation with the driver. This is a prototype of the production car. You probably have seen pictures of the show car.

Why would prototype cost $4M that regular costs only $1.1M? :?:

All the parts were hand/individually built. You can't just grab parts off a shelf pre-production.
