Default How many S2000's?

I was just wondering if anyone new exactly how many S2000's are built each year? I have head that it is a very low number, like 7000 a year or so. Does anyone know for sure?

Fourteen and change manufactured internationally, seven and change imported to North American markets. You can get exact numbers from the Honda website.

From that, best guess: 25% Silverstone, 25% Sebring, 10% GPW, NFR, SB, Rio/Spa, BB, and now we have NBso say 1%.

So, 40,000 S2k's in NA, minus 10% loses at 4,000, so youhave about 36k S2000s in NA.

So you are saying that 14,000 are made for international market, and an additional 7000 are made for the USA market for a total of approximately 21,000 total S2000's produced world wide annually? Also where did you find the production numbers on their web site? Thanks for the good info!

Do a search. There have been a few threads asking the exact same thing over the years.

Thanks for the info guy's. Just checked out hondanews.com and production figures for the 2005-year model as of December 2005 are 7,780. Looking at previous post of yearly production numbers for the US market, it would appear that an average of 7,500 S2000's per year have been produced.

Just to give an accurate break down of the S2000 production:

Sales per calendar year:

1999 - 3,400
2000 - 6,797
2001 - 9,682
2002 - 9,684
3003 - 7,888
2004 - 7,320
2005

Sales or production?
Sales in the US or worldwide?
Would the chassis-number give an indication of the year it was buildt looking at that list?

1999 - till 3400
2000 - till 10197
etc?

Those numbers are listed as "North American Honda Sales". Production/sales numbers listed are based on "Calendar Year". Example: 2005 - 7,780 means 7,780 cars sold in the US during the calendar year 2005.

When will the 100,000th S2000 be sold?, 2006?

Just noticed this thread!! Please see mine above. I calculate that 100,000 will be hit this year or 2007.
