Hmmm….rarer than a Porsche 911!

[Chiketkd]

We all know that our SVXs are extremely rare, and the auto media has often compared them to the Porsche 911 due to the flat 6 powerplant in both cars. Decided to find out just how rare our cars are compared to 911s made over the same production period.


Subaru SVX



1991 1513 (’92 model sold in ’91)
1992 3667
1993 3859
1994 1666
1995 1801
1996 1111
1997 640
Total 14,257 (courtesy http://www.cars101.com/subaru_svx.html)


Porsche 911



(focusing only on 993 models produced between ’94-’97)
1994 2677
1995 7857
1996 5823
1997 7129
Total 23,486 (courtesy http://p-car.com/production.html)

*Note – Porsche production numbers are for both the Carerra coupe & cabriolet sold in North America


Treat your SVXs well folks. They were a rare gem when brand new - and becoming even more rare each day!

...total production for the '94-'97 993's should be higher than the 23,486 I stated as I didn't include Targa or Turbo models! If they were included, the total would increase by almost another 3,500.

If we looked at the 964 Porsche 911s produced in the '92-'93 model years, then the total would climb again by at least another 10,000... (can't find north america specific production numbers)

P.S. This is a great link to read up about the 911's of yore!

Try to find an owner of a 911 in good condition who is willing to trade for an SXV of the same year and in good condition...

That takes price into consideration, and the SVX and Porsche 911 were never cross-shopped by potential buyers.

Both cars have devoted, dedicated followers. Both cars showcased the pinnacle of each manufacturer's technology at the time.

Try and find a Porsche owner who owns 9 like ensteele!

Chike,
Then again, how many people - short of Bill Gates and other assorted Billion/Millionaires - have the $$ to have 9 911s in the same shape as Earl's 9 SVXes...

That pearlwhite pic you showed. That's exactly the same pic I saved
on my computer 4 yrs ago....while I was looking for an SVX. One of my
favorite pics...

Let's try our best to take good care of our "porsches" ...............
