Thank you! Some kind of proof. And what did we conclude from the "1999 Thread" less than 3000 early 99 amber cars?

996.2 Carrera Coups 2002-2005, 11598 produced
996.2 C4S, 2002-2005, 17,283 produced
996.1 Carrera Coupe, 1997-2001, 32,324 produced

I think you left out the 2004 C2 non anniversary cars 3,393 of them. (or are 1,963 of them the 40th anniversary models?)

pulpo

dont is the french word for "of which" and can also mean "including".. i was confused by it's usage in that table I had to look up what it meant

so 3393-1963=1430 regular c2s that year I believe

Optionman1

Only 3,426 996 turbo cabs in total. Going to add a manual one to my collection soon. Didn't realize so few were produced.

Interesting, not one 2004 Carrera Coupe ever produced.

Optionman1

OK, so 1,400 non 40th anniversary in 2004 and zero in 2005. So call it 13k C2 coupes in the 996.2 gen.

pulpo

nor carrera 4 coupe or cab

i think they did the same thing in the 997 generation only producing S models for the final year(s)

Optionman1

2004 Carrera Coupé (dont 911 Anniversaire) 3393
2004 Carrera Cabriolet 2809
2004 Carrera 4 Coupé 362
2004 Carrera 4 Cabriolet 355

I didnt count carrera 4 in my calcs.

Sure 40th were produced in 2004 but they aren't "regular" 320 hp coupes. They are a bit more special and therefore a class of their own.

One of these days I'll take the numbers and look at The BAT history of listings and sales. But quick back of the envelope estimates tells me that very few 996.2 Coupes (2002-03) have ever been put on the market. Tells you something.

The link made me even more bullish on the 996.2 Coupes. Not a lot of them produced. And very few for sale.

Optionman1

2002 Carrera Coupé 6249
2003 Carrera Coupé 4987
2004 Carrera Coupé (dont 911 Anniversaire) 3393

Total 14,629
Less 1,963 40th anniversary

Net 12,666

Curious.. but what other cars in history or even current cars have taken a similar trajectory to the 996? Currently maybe the Ferrari 348? Dino cars from the late 60s into 70s?

GC996

Yep, 7% of the 175k+ 996 produced and very few for sale.

Here you go. A breakdown of howtoporsche.com production numbers. The first grid shows production by generation and models. The second grid shows the aggregate total by model. Gen-1 is production from 1997-2001. Gen-2 is production from 2002-2005.

You can see why there are so many 996.1 C2 Coupes, C2 Cabs and C4 Coupes for sale on BAT; as well as 996.2 C4S and C2 Cabs. There are a lot of them.



Not certain why there are so many 40th anniversary cars for sale. Folks should be holding on to them.

GC996

I missed this explanation. I didn't adjust it with the 40th anniversary numbers.
