I talked to Greg months ago, and he said this was where he was headed.
I’ve said lots of times, building a coupe is easily 2x the work of a Speedster. With the backlog in Greg’s shop, unless a coupe costs 2x a Speedster, he’s passing profit potential to build them. 50 speedsters/year are more profitable than 20 coupes, especially if they’re crazy builds.
Ditto Subaru engines - there’s a lot of complexity there, and EJ25 cars are now nearly 30 years old, meaning a full rebuild or an Outfront engine. It’s nowhere near as easy as just dropping a nice T1 and regeared 4-speed in the car. BaT likes them like that better anyway.
The Spyder thing is curious. They shouldn’t be harder to build than a Speedster, and they’ve always commanded a premium.
