There are 5 Grand Prix events, so we can win 5 of the 10 cars through the events. As with the LTS's and SE's, it's always, always cheaper to win the cars through whatever events they are available in (especially the first time they are offered). The primary reason for this is that you win the car for free after paying for upgrades needed for the event. This is not an insignificant savings.

For instance, while you may be paying nearly M$ 2million for upgrades on each car, you're getting the car and the upgrades for that price. If you chose to bypass any of the events and buy the cars outright on their own, you'd have to pay the M$ 2million purchase price, and then have to also pay for the upgrades, effectively doubling your cost to get to the same level as just winning each car through the Grand Prix Event.
