On another note, I don't think they built this car to be practical, I think they built it to show they could build it. This is like the Lexus version of the Ford GT, or even better the Cadillac 16. It's not so much to make money or sell them as much as it is a statement car and to promote their name and show off the technology etc. a little more.
They wanted to prove that they would build a better S600/760il AND it is still SULEV and gets 20+ combined MPG. An extra 5 or 10 mpg wouldn't have persuaded anyone to buy it that wasn't going to before.
