When looking to replace my wifes 98 chimaera after considering Tuscans we bought a new un-registered Chimaera 450 in January. Could this be one of the last to be registered are are there or are there any more out there ??
What is the chance now of the factory building any more now ??

I don't know the answer to that, but I was hoping someone else might.

I believe they have stopped making them - I think engine supply is the main problem (and a few new models ).

Dunno, the Chimaera is still detailed on thier website, and you can spec one up for around 35k. I guess they'll be special order only.

I have the answer (based on my factory tour in January...)! The factory are still building the Chimaera. However, they must have a complete order of 6 before they will consider production. So, if you place an order now, you may not get your dream car until the end of the year...unless they get a total order of 6 sooner. The orders can come from anywhere in the country. It is a shame you have to wait, but then again, they are spectacular cars...(not that I am biased or anything)

Alternatively you could buy a brand new shape one secondhand...

I brought a previously owned Feb 02 car in Nov, and it is Silver!. I believe they only made 16 Chims last year, not sure how many were black.
