i tried searching for this question before posting but couldn't find it... does anyone know how many r3s were produced for 09 and 10? just curious.

 

Id like to know this too. Do they post production numbers anywhere?

 

great question.

 

I don't think the r3 is a limited edition like the shinka was. So no idea.

 

its not limited. but at the same time there weren't many sold.

 

I rarely see an R3's here in Vegas. Maybe not too many, if you asked me. I still want to know anyway.

 

probably less than 500. and that's for the whole US.

RX-8 is not selling like hot cakes so ...

 

i think i heard they sold like 2k 09 models in the states. but wow if there is less than 500 for the r3 PKG. then dam thats nuts. i have seen one r3 one time in my area. and 2 other 09 non r3 models.

when i got my 2009 rx8 from my madza dealership. it was the first rx8 they have every sold in the years it was out ! hahah

 

Bump for an old thread because I want to know. Anybody know how many r3s were produced in total?

 

about 780 in the UK.

 

I ask this very question while at the dealer on 10/25/11,( yesterday). The sales manager placed a call into the district manager to get
the answer. They are going to email me today with the answer.
One thing I did find out is there was 230 RX-8 produced for the western region of the US in 2011. And the R3 I brought in is the second one they have seen!
I was looking for a 2011 or 2010 with low to no miles.
I found 09 R3 with 9,000 miles. I might release that one and keep fishing. for 2010 or 11

What do you think??

I've been meaning to make a S2 sales total thread for a while. Just never got around to it.

I'll create one now. It doesn't break down the individual model numbers though, so no idea how many R3s sold or what colors.

Link soon.

if you want the blue, you kinda have to get the 09 I think

 

Why no blue?

 

Blue was only available in 2009 and 2010, I believe. Black was only available in 2009. Red is the only color available in 2011.

2009: Red, Blue, Black
2010: Red, Blue
2011: Red

 

so once they are discontinued how much will my lil red 10 r3 be worth =)

 

not much more than normal until it has proven it's reliability compared to series 1 rx8s ... which wont be for another few years.

 

IMO, keep fishing and let me buy that 09!! =D hehehe

seriously, where are they selling it and how much they want? If you dont buy it I might be interested

 

Ok, pm me. I have it till sunday, 250 miles driven on first tank, 15.2 gal used.

 

MY2009 = 555 units

MY2010 = 263 units

MY2011 = 132 units

 

Is that only in the United States?
Because I'm pretty sure it's more than that globally...

 

Yes, US, as soon as I can I'll scan the email and post it

 

That's a disturbing trend, and we know how it ends...

Are you guys counting the SPIRIT R? Those will be even rarer!

 

Those aren't being sold in the US, now are they?

I wouldn't mind the wheels from one, though.
Would look really nice on my Black '11 Sport.
