Steve: So far it has been very difficult to get a proper accounting of how many Spyders were built for US market, or ROW, in MY2011 and MY2012! We have been given certain numbers in passing (by MJones, who was mostly documenting gt3 & RS sales in US) in the gt Rennlist forum. Those seemed to indicate around 700 US Spyders for MY2011. Mr. Jones (Brian) informed me separately that there were a total of 125 US allocations for MY2012 Spyders last year. In addition, I was told by a German employee of 'Porsche Exclusive' last summer in Carmel that world-wide production of Spyders was approx. 2000 in total!
I have not seen even a hint of the total numbers of MY2012 Cayman R's expected to be produced, for either the US market or ROW. I have asked MJones via PM/Email to see if he could come up with more definite figures for us, especially on the Spyders since they are all 'done/sold'. But so far, he has been unable to do so...but I patiently wait for more news from him. If anyone else has more updated numbers on Spyder and/or Cayman R production, we would love to hear from them on this forum.
Re: Afshin's "I was reading on Planet 9 that about 3500 R's were produced for the entire world. I believe 1500-1800 came to the US." Please let us know the exact source of that information (from Planet 9) and how reliable you think those numbers are!

It's hard to believe anywhere near that many Rs came to the US - based on Panorama's and MJones total Boxster/Cayman (combined) sales of around 3500 for the 2011 year.
When the R was introduced Porsche thought a third of the production would be Rs, then brought out the Black edition which was supposed to be 500 (or about a third of Cayman production).
But I'm very interested in knowing.

Casey posted the following on Planet 9:
I assume his sources are probably accurate although he doesn't say how he found this number.
just checked and saw 3536 completed production so you are quite close to the end... There is one that is in production last right now and from what I can tell is the closest that I can see to last(outside of any customer order cars)

Let's think for a moment about all of this and explain to us what we really KNOW about how Vin #3536 tells us how many Cayman R's were built for the US and/or the World. Because it's not clear at all to me...

Casey's sources? What are those sources? Casey (a salesman at a MD dealer) is just reading from a PCNA computer screen that tells him the vin# on one of the last Cayman R being sent to the US Market? Is that it? What does that tell us - that approx. 3536 were built for the US market? Or for the world? What is the vin # of the first Cayman R for the US? Do we know they were built in sequence? What are the Vin #'s for ROW Cayman R's?

Hopefully someone can chime in with additional knowledge and clarify things.
