Not at all... Not talking about a 2 seat version of a luxury platform complete with built-in BMW +$$,$$$ upcharge and luxobarge mass. A 2-seat version of the FT86 (keep it simple and leave 228hp n.a. flat-4 alone) could be built for less $$$$ than the 2+2 (fewer parts, lower materials costs), but of course they could and would sell for more $$$$ because "dedicated 2-seater" and they'd likely have to if demand for less utilitarian version were significantly lower. But they would expand total sales a bit overall and help amortize the shared bits. Anyway, figure they could sell it for +$5k over FT86 pricing, I'd be fine with that.
