As per the information provided, we can conclude the following :

I) Top speed :

a) Model A had the highest top speed among cars.

b) Model E had a top speed higher than three of the car models, so Model E had the second highest top speed among cars.

c) Model E had a top speed higher than all three of the motorbike models.

d) Model R had the lowest top speed among the motorbikes.

e) Model P had a top speed higher than that of model Q.

II) Cost :

a) Model B was costlier than model C, and model C was costlier than model D among cars.

b) Model C was costlier than motorbike model Q.

c) Model A was not the costliest among cars.

d) Model E was costlier than model D and there was no car model whose cost lay in between them.

e) Model P was costlier than model Q which was costlier than model R.

Thus, arranging the models in the descending order from left to right, under the following groups, we get :

1) Cars (Top speed) : A,  E,  __,  __,  __  (B, C and E will occupy the last three spaces in any order).

2) Motorbikes (Top speed) : P,  Q,  R.

3) Cars (Cost) : B,  C,  E,  D  (Since none of the different car models had the same cost, A could lie anywhere between B and C or C and E, or after D).

4) Motorbikes (Cost) : P,  Q,  R.

5) Also regarding cost, model C > model Q (point II b). Hence, we can also conclude that regarding cost, B > Q, B > R and C > R.

If car model A was not costlier than car model E, then the arrangement in the descending order from left to right, under the head of Cars (Cost) would be : B,  C,  E,  D,  A.

Also motorbike model P was less costly than car model A.

Thus, the arrangement of the car and motorbike models in the descending order from left to right, under the head of Cost would be :  B,  C,  E,  D,  A,  P,  Q,  R.

Hence, the least costly of all the car and motorbike models present at the OSL Prestige Motorrad as per the given information was R.
