Maybe at a loss to a customer, but not the company.
Each Bugatti Veyron sold didn't lose money for VW, the Veyron project as a whole did. Each Veyron that was sold lowered the cost of the project all the way up to Veyron #450. So when you do the math, total loss over total units sold, it comes to about a loss of $6.25 million/Veyron. If VW were to keep selling Veyron's, they would eventually break even and make profit.
