Default GTS Production Numbers?

Anyone know how many GTS were produced, and how those numbers compare to the other 997 models or the total number of 2011 and 2012 997's produced and imported into the US?

In Porsche 911 Book Anniversary Edition, total production for :

1. GTS (2010): 2,656
2. Carrera (2004) and S : 25,770
3. Turbo (2006) and S : 14,298

I assume total production for Carrera includes C4, C4S, Targa and the rest of Carrera line.

997 Carrera GTS Cabrio: 1.813
997 Carrera 4 GTS Coupé: 1.321
997 Carrera 4 GTS Cabrio: 957

I believe your source is more accurate. Thank you for the correction.

Are these total worldwide production numbers? If so, I guess my 2012 GTS Cabrio is a somewhat rare commodity, especially with a manual transmission?

I recall being told by my Porsche dealer when I was ordering my GTS, "Yeah, it's going to be a limited edition 997!"
And by "limited" I guess he meant, limited to the total number of GTSs Porsche could sell.
A run of 6,747 hardly makes the GTS a "limited edition," IMO.
Still the best Porsche I've ever owned, though.

Just curious....any way to find out how many 997s of a certain color were built? Like turquoise blue?

Any chance to get numbers on PDK vs 6 MT? Colors?

Yeah, but you two are fraternal twins so youall only count as one. That would make three.

(And, while the GTS may not be "rare". I'd be willing to bet that I have the only T/B one.)

14% of all 997 are GTS? Surprisingly high since I'd never seen one before I bought one.

Even more rare without centerlock wheels, which looks to be the case with yours. Mine too. 2012 Meteor Gray Cab, manual, with sport classics.
