I'm trying to see how many F-Type R coupes were sold in the USA. I own one and since they don't make RWD anymore after 2015, I want to know how rare this car is. From the attached thumbnail, the data shows 4,629 of all kinds were sold. I can't find additional breakdown, so I'm forced to guess the split between coupes and convertibles to be about half each. I'm also guessing about 20% of coupes sold were R's. So rough ball parking it, I come up with 4,629 x .5 x .2 = 463

Can that be right? That's a low figure!

 

I think you're in the right ballpark.

 

I live in Lakeland, Fl. and I think all F Types are low numbers. I haven't seen another one. Now maybe we have two! That's a low number!

 

I too, have looked for this data and have not been successful. i had seen a car & driver article online that listed the 2015 R as a 'collector', in a sense (a awesome car, not many people own). i'll look for it again and post if i can find it.

 

Cool! I saw an attractive brunette (female so there's no misunderstanding) driving a six-cylinder in south Lakeland near Jenkins HS a few months back - that was my only other sighting.

Yes - it's a low production car including all variants. Here's a graphic of US Sports Car Sales:

 

I'm shocked. More F-Types than SLKs, Boxsters, and Caymans. Still pretty rare though - 4600 out of 7.7M new cars sold in the US in 2015

 

Perhaps my wife. we live in the George Jenkins area. 2015 Stratus Gray.

 

If you combine the Boxter and Cayman, or could separate the F-Type into coupe and vert, the FType is definitely more "rare" than the Boxter / Cayman...

 

You sure it wasn't Road & Track? They called it a "Sure Future Classic":

 

While technically you could say F-Types outsell both Boxster and Cayman, that's misleading since they are coupe and convertible versions of essentially the same car. It's more appropriate to add them together in which case they outsell the F-Type by about 2K vehicles.

 

Haha me too - that looks like Christina area with the oaks. We'll have to swap cars for a few days - you can get your power kicks and I get to enjoy a nice spring day with the top down.

 

From the new auto sales data I've seen, US sales were somewhat more than 17 million cars in 2015. Agreed, pretty rare.

 

The rarity is part of the appeal - I see more Ferraris than I see F-Types.

 

They've only been on sale for 2.5 years in the U.S. whereas Ferraris, Porsches, etc. have been around for many decades. Right now, perhaps 10-12K have been sold since introduction, and they'll become increasingly common over the next decade.

 

I got really bored waiting for my car, and found the manifest for 15 different shipments at the end of 2015, accounting for 491 cars. This is just a snapshot.

Base, Coupe, Auto, 81
S Coupe, Auto, 37
Base, Conv, Auto, 57
S Convertible, Auto, 24
Project 7, Auto, 8
Base Coupe, Manual, 8
S Coupe, Manual, 6
Base Conv, Manual, 9
S Conv, Manual, 5
S Coupe, Auto, AWD, 54
R Cpe, Auto, AWD, 115
S Conv, Auto, AWD, 28
R Conv, Auto, AWD, 59

 

Looks like they came close to their 10% target on the MTs (28 of 309 V6 cars)

 

I don't remember the source but do remember it mentioning just under 1000 RWD R's sold. I would venture it is between 500-1000 in the US.

 

BMW a sold more i8s than z4???

 

...and where are the M's? No M3, M4, M5? Are they not "sporty cars"?

And a whopping 13,000 2-Series' sold?

 

Obviously, the folks at "goodcarbadcar.net" made some rather silly and arbitrary decisions about what to include in that bar chart.
