Default Non RS 997 GT3 US production numbers by model year

I've seen GT3 production numbers for US sales which combine the 2007-2008 and combine 2010 and 2011 GT3 production numbers.

I haven't found a good source that separates GT3 production by model year, that said, any help with getting these numbers would be appreciated.

Thanks

Go to Pors9"dot"com. For some reason rennlist blocks that url so I have to spell it out. Then member services. Then vehicle search.

It looks like their site is down.

At a high level, I have a spreadsheet with this data and it should be very accurate. Numbers are for North America (US and Canada). Someone correct me if I missed something.

2007 GT3 - 828
2008 GT3 - 135

2007 GT3RS - 327
2008 GT3RS - 126

2010 GT3 - 542
2011 GT3 - 173

2010 GT3RS - 240
2011 GT3RS - 372

2011 RS4.0 - 158

Would have guessed 2011 RS numbers lower than 2010.

This is pretty spot on.
The 997.1 GT3 RS is the lowest production.

This was available in 2018 and only disagrees by one 997.1 GT3:

CBA Releases Porsche GT Model Historical Sales Statistics!

What’s this about?
The PORS9 database contains 20,000 Porsche vehicle profiles for North America from the Carrera GT through the 911R.
This includes summary MSRP data which we have compiled and are releasing publicly for the first time.
This is the second in a three-part series of releases that covers the Turbos (2007 – 2013),
GTs (2007 – 2016) and Special Editions (2004 – 2016) of the PORS9 database.
There are 189 Porsche dealers in North America … so just how much in sales have Porsche and their North American
dealers generated selling these GT models? …. let’s find out and tally the total at the bottom of this post!

997.1 GT3 (2007-2008)
• North America Units Sold: 963
• Average MSRP: $119,132
• Total Model Retail Sales: $114.7 million
Our comment: The Mezger GT3 on the new 997 platform was welcomed strongly.
A robust two year run would out sell all other GT models to follow until the 991 showed.

997.1 GT3 RS (2007-2008)
• North America Units Sold: 453
• Average MSRP: $142,071
• Total Model Retail Sales: $64.4 million
Our comment: This model is more highly coveted now than when it was new it seems.
But with the same horsepower rating as its little brother it’s no wonder that it did not outsell it,
as it was quite a bit more expensive for the same driving thrill for most pilots.

997.2 GT3 (2010-2011)
• North America Units Sold: 715
• Average MSRP: $131,184
• Total Model Retail Sales: $93.8 million
Our comment: Gen 2 and only a 20 HP bump from the now 3.8 liter engine
and only evolutionary changes from Gen 1 – did not help this model’s sales performance it seems,
but it sold respectably in the face of its more track spun big brother.

997.2 GT3 RS (2010-2011)
• North America Units Sold: 612
• Average MSRP: $154,971
• Total Model Retail Sales: $94.8 million
Our comment: She’s got the look … and this model sold substantially more units v. its GT3 sibling
than the same ratio in Gen 1 – and generated more aggregate sales dollars than the Gen 2 GT3.
Flared body, fixed carbon wing and an aggressive stance. Porsche was surely pleased with the sales of the Gen 2 997 GT3 RS.

997.2 GT3 RS 4.0 (2011)
• North America Units Sold: 158
• Average MSRP: $203,496
• Total Model Retail Sales: $32.2 million
Our comment: The last manual Mezger engined NA Porsche.
The end of the era along with the 997 GT2 RS (discussed in the prior Turbo blog post).
An edition limited to 600 units worldwide and quickly sold out. Not a lot of aggregate sales dollars given the limited production,
but for a Porsche it was all the money at the time. It seems Porsche could have charged more given that the average MSRP
was 30% less than the 997 GT2 RS.

991.1 GT3 (2014-2016)
• North America Units Sold: 2,191
• Average MSRP: $151,884
• Total Model Retail Sales: $332.8 million
Our comment: The economy was back for 2014 and beyond. An incredible sales total of over $330 million for the Gen 1 991 GT3
model run is simply astounding given the combined figures of the 997 run. Add to that the average MSRP was up $20k (welcome to the era of CXX options)
with no manual transmission available. A true sleeper and a very good run for Porsche.

991.1 GT3 RS (2016)
• North America Units Sold: 1,529
• Average MSRP: $205,311
• Total Model Retail Sales: $313.9 million

Our comment: Another outstanding sales performance from a totally revamped GT3 RS. Porsche hinted that production would be very limited,
then that they would only produce 600 units for North America, then it was to be capped around 900 … the fun finally stopped at 1,529 units built and
over $310 million in sales for North America alone. Doesn’t seem anyone takes seriously anymore Porsche’s interest in keeping production numbers limited –
they will build as many as they can sell .. and they seem to build them a lot faster than they used to! Grand Total North America (2007-2016)

This group of GT cars represents two periods and two model series (997 and 991) so totals are not representative of much –
other than the popularity of NA Porsche GT cars! And the fact that more recent the economic conditions have allowed the –
totally uncorked and unlimited – sales of 991 model GT cars to skew the totals (60% of the dollar sales from 2007 to 2016 were in the three year period of 2014-2016)
which indicates that these are good times for Porsche.
• Total North America Units Sold: 6,621
• Average MSRP: $158,068 (not weighted)
• Total Models Retail Sales: $1.05 billion

You're right. My data was one high. I had two of the same VIN. I edited my post above. Thanks for the catch.

Interesting, I also thought 2010 RS had higher NA production than 2011 RS.

Also interesting that NA 7.1 RS production was lower than 7.2 RS.

I believe that world wide 7.1 RS production was higher vs 7.2 RS.

Production year is different than the model year it was sold as. A car made July 1 2007 is sold as a 2008, as an example.

All the data looks good to me too (based on my notes from PORS9 too).

And if you are like me, and differentiate between a kilometer car, verses a MPH U.S. based car, then here is a further breakdown....

I only have this US -verses- Canada separation for the 997.2 GT3

US = 491 sold in 2010 (... & another 51 sold in Canada in 2010)
US = 166 sold in 2011 (... & another 7 sold in Canada in 2011)

..... for a 2-year grand total in the US Only of 657.

I added in a new field to my data and pulled in division (PCNA vs PCL).

Looks like either I'm a car off or PORS9 is a car off for the 2010 GT3 US vs Canada and slightly more off for 2011 GT3 US. I'll have to try and find if it's something in my data.

I'm showing the following:

2010 GT3:
US: 490
Canada: 52

2011 GT3:
US: 160
Canada: 7

2010 GT3RS:
US: 190
​​​​​​​Canada: 50

2011 GT3RS:
US: 351
​​​​​​​Canada: 21

2011 GT3RS 4.0:
US: 142
​​​​​​​Canada: 16
