If someone is going to sell only one or two cars they have to sell everything for more to make up the cost of development. So the theory is that if teams have a limited selection of cars to select from, more of each car will be sold and they will cost less. IIRC, that's what killed the Riley P2. They couldn't get enough pre-orders at a price that would cover finishing the development.
