The modern day economics of auto manufacturing necessitate larger production runs, component sharing and economies of scale to stay consistently financially healthy. The  limited manufacturer will be a thing of the past particularly since the modern investors and managers are not romantic but very ruthless looking for very rewarding returns for their money.

Besides "junior supercar" prices cannot keep rising to compensate for inefficiencies, given that today power and performance are very available in more mainstream cars at reasonable prices. The 1970s when a Ferrari could do 250km/h and the rest of the traffic was unsafe at 150km/h are long gone.
