Total number of 996 turbos produced

[Sunnysidebb]

Does anyone know the total number of 996tt that were produced.

I was wondering just how common they are and how rare the might be in the future.
Especially if time shows they are more tune-able and have less systems to go wrong than the 997tt. They might be more desirable ?? who knows

Thanks.

...why anyone would tune a 997tt is beyond me , so fast as standard...

You get used to the power and crave just that little bit more. I own a 997 Turbo and had a stage 1 DMS remap last year. The power is bonkers and this is the first time that I really don't feel the need for any more power for road use. 100MPH is a breeze and 150MPH comes up with just a twitch of the right foot!

Now were talking.
I agree power is a drug. Just need more and more. Interesting to know you have a 997tt. Is it PDK. I have a Tip, its another reason I wont be going to K24 18g etc etc etc at the moment. Although there is a mod to the tip ( big mod though) that will allow the tip box to take 600/700+ rwhp.One day... who knows.
however back to earth for a moment, I have to admit my 996tt is all I need.....for now LOL

Thanks EvoSlayer and everybody else for the data.
It would seem 2001 & 2002 are where the largest volumes were sold. As to Turbo S a very small number in any year.
I am pleasantly surprised. I did think there were literally multiple thousands and thousands produced per year. To me 5k to 6k p/year still make them a relatively rare car. I dont see many 996tt when driving about. The only other car I have had which I saw less of on the road was my Escort RS Cosworth. If I ever saw one it was time to use the numbers in the reg and put a quid on the lotto.
Cheers again,
Frank

I'm glad to see the discussion is back to the 996tt. The Last few post are similar to what I have been thinking. Some interesting thoughts.
Perhaps if all the hot hatch owners bought 996tt but kept them in the garage due to running cost then they might become even rarer and the price might go up. lol Who knows and who cares really. I bought mine to drive so the miles start to add up. Cant be helped.
Would be nice to own a car as rare as rocking horse sh$t though, very exclusive.
I felt a bit like that with my Cosworth, until repeatedly reminded it was a Ford and an Escort Pah...... I still like them as well ( I should get commission from the Cosworth PH forum for advertising lol)
