Just noticed this your figures for the spyder are correct but your CR ones are all wrong!
For starters none were built in 2010 and going by chassis numbers over 1600 cars were delivered to rest of world alone and more than double went to the states!
If you go on planet 9 back to march 2012 the guys in the states were receiving cars with chassis numbers higher than 3500( cannot remember exact number from over 4 years ago)
I think it's you making up random numbers the CR was a bigger sales success than the spyder world wide!

I have no reason to doubt the numbers I posted, they were sourced directly from Porsche by a pff member and are IMO as close as we're going to get to official numbers. source
The other postings in that topic back up the information.

As of 2014 there were 563 Rs and 826 Spyders in North America according to https://admin.porschedealer.com (again, mentioned on pff)

They also state that the Cayman Black Edition shared chassis numbers with the CR and despite that there were still more Spyders registered in Germany than CRs and Cayman Black Editions combined. (500 vs 288)

The 10 CRs built in 2010 were preproduction or press cars.

Here's a picture of a Cayman R taken in November 2010 at the LA auto show, it even says so in the background.

and another link from Nov 2010 with a picture of a car:

No thank you, you can keep your humble pie.

I was referring to the GT4/PDK issue with which I started this thread . Some very unkind things were said about the originator of the story and email conversations that did/did not take place!

Oh ok, apologies, I misunderstood. Didn't mean to derail the thread either...

I am fully aware of the CR launch at the LA show November 2010 and there may have been preproduction cars but full production started in Finland early 2011 and switched to Stuttgart later in the year!the info you read on pff de is not that reliable and porsche never posts production numbers so chassis numbers although not an exact science does give a rough idea of numbers.On planet9 someone looked in to the USA numbers and seemed to think there was about 1400 cars delivered there ( seemed to think the numbers started at xxx2000 to xxx3xxx) unless porsche produce the numbers we will never know but imo there was defiiantely more CR than Spyders and in excess of 3000 worldwide even if you include B.E in the build numbers which I am not sure about without seeing a BE chassis number
