I say that in regards to everything but value, the value stuff just detracts from the car.

Intermission break:
Pors9: Awesome database! Your data squares with what I know about the limited run of 997 Turbo S Edition Spyder. For the 2012 model year, there were 40 units produced and for 2013, there were 6. Of these 6, 5 are Cabriolets. I might have the last 2013 Turbo S Edition Spyder Cabriolet made. 🤔. Want to check the number of your Porsche, here’s the link:

With regard to 991.1 GT3 RS, is your 7,500 WW production # extrapolated from U.S, sales, which your site publishes? It seems there would be decent correlation between U.S sales and Other countries to impute a WW #. Waxer wont be happy with a 7,500 #.

Yes seems to be an awful lot of that going on any more .. but usually its going the other way overstating the rarity.
The US number is the number and the global production number comes from a very credible source. Seems to be some sort of presumption about how many are produced for a given market related to extraneous non factors - such as making the assumption that there is a global production limit or that the % of one model produced for a given market correlates somehow with the % of a different model produced for that market. But when there is no global production limit the number is simply just the number ordered in a given market as I previously stated - maybe not so clearly - in previous posts. The only relevant % - and this is just a guide to know that you are in the ball park and not out of the field - is the % of total production for a given market in a given year.

Purely anecdotal, but for the 3 or 4 markets in Asia that I visit frequently and am in touch with some of the car guys, there were about 3 times the number of 991.1 RS compared to previous RS generations.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but the rather extended build run of the 991.1 RS was made to satisfy USA demand, was it not? Therefore the percentage of cars for the North American market would likely be a larger percentage of the total build. I was also under the impression that certain markets did not obtain many if at all due to regulations, hence more were deviated to NA market further increasing the NA percentage. I really don't care, but I just remember reading these things over the last year and half. Thanks!

Pors9 - I know this thread is jumping around a little bit and most of the production volume debate has been on the GT3.1 RS but now I am confused. With respect to the 911R US deliveries you reference as wrong above - I believe about 30% of the 918s came to US so not surprised that about 30% of R units came to US. When you say not correct or even close - what is the number you think it is? Just curious. - Edit - NM found it in your data. your data estimates 191 US and 218 total in North America. Interesting
