Curious as to where you find the number CR you have. Does each year of CR manufacture begin at #1, or does the number go sequentially up regardless of wether or not it is a CR or base model. My CR's 08 serial # is 1567 does that mean it is the 1567th CR made or the 1567th S2000 made for 08? I would like to know what number CR it is out of all CR's made. Also, mine was made in 1/08. When the last CR was made?

Ran across some more data points; these come from the NHTSA's database of theft statistics. Manufacturers must report their total model-year production for each model (U.S. cars only). It seems the NHTSA revises these estimates up to 2 or 3 years after the fact, which may explain why data is only available through MY2006.

Here's the link, if you want to play around with it:

Note: the data clearly isn't complete, nor always correct (see below). Plus, a given car might have several different names/manufacturers for different years (e.g. the NSX is variousy listed as NSX by Acura, NSX by Honda/Acura, Acura NSX by Honda, and Acura NSX by Honda/Acura!) Your best bet is to list the complete data for each model year you're interested in and browse the list for the model you want.
Some tidbits:
17 Bugatti Veyrons in MY06
102 Ferrari Enzos (all MY03)
210 F40s from MY90-92 (90+60+60) - no data for earlier years
56 F50s (all MY95)
2219 Testarossas from MY85-92 (peak 426 in MY90)
and last:
775,153 Ford Mustangs in MY02?!
That's actually a mistake - real figure's about 140K.

That's actually a mistake - real figure's about 140K. MY2000
patinum count - 9148
patinum highest vin - 9207
NHTSA count - 9206
MY2001
patinum count - 9945
patinum highest vin - 9942
NHTSA count - 9945
Still not sure what these missing vin numbers are. My guess is that the numbers Honda provided NHTSA were based on the highest vin.

It would be interesting to see the Canadian production numbers because there were some definite differences like a GPW with all blue interior in at least 2003 and Suzuka was only sold for 2002. There's also Imola orange of course. There can't be that many Canadian S2000's. There's probably more US vehicles here now than Canadian

I would really rather know this than the rest of the production figures.

Does anyone know of a study like this for worldwide numbers? I'm curious how many GPW's were made with the full blue interior in Canada in 2003, as well as other color combos that were never available in the US. 
By the way, thank you for doing this, Patinum.
I've been back to that chart probably 2 dozen times since I bookmarked it. LOL.
