Maybe I'm overestimating the market for this kind of car or underestimating the difficulties in bringing such a thing to market - I'm no business expert (just know the car I'd like to have).
Yes, you are.

gma entire run of t50 is 100 cars over few years. maybe other model is twice as much? only boutique manufacturers can make this type of car because there is no mass market for it. even ferrari icona models in the thousands total are not like gma. the porsche restomod companies come pretty close but thats it.

They'll make 100 units of each variant of the T.33 model (300 cars) and 100 T.50 and 25 T.50S, and more models coming (I think they will continue to use the Cosworth V12 in various states of tune). 425 units of the first two models not very many, but represents way over $1B gross revenue).

There was a recent rule change that permits low-volume European cars to continue to use internal combustion engines indefintely under some circumstances, so the Cosworth V12 is not planned for retirement anymore.

He sold most of his Mclarens.
Seriously, I have no interest in the M2 CS - its just another M badged people mover. If BMW start making "ultimate driving machines" I may give them a look, but they haven't produced anything note worthy for a very long time. M cars, like most AMGs are little more than european muscle cars.

I'd much rather take a NA Cayman or an Alpine up a twisty mountain back road than a M2 (of any type).
