This comes from one of the Jalopnik writers. He is talking about RSs even though he doesn’t say. 2018 is limited so that should be easy. Problem is there were lots of 16s and 17s that were still unsold at the end of 2017 so this doesn’t give true production numbers...

Somewhere around here there is a thread that shows color distribution. White was the rarest if I remember right...

 

Total worldwide 34,034.

I got one of them .

 

Here's the North American 2017 production totals thread. Current as of June 2017, I'm sure it went up a few hundred units per color in the weeks following.

I remember that Jalopnik thread.... David Tracy said the total number of the FSA was about 27,000.... so that's through most of 2017 production.

So 27,000 + a little bit in 2017 + all of the 2018's. I'd guess about 30,000 plus maybe another 10k for 2018?

 

So you dont believe 34,034 then?

Just got my build number and date from Boerni as well, 60/1000 for my 18 limited RS.

Got my plate yesterday as well, #502/1000 for what it's worth...

 

Actually possible, there are bar code on the roof of each car. I assume each car will be scan and recorded as they finish off the assembly line, PDI remove a lot of this stuff. My car didn't get touch by the dealer at all, so a lot of the stuff are still on it, like the bar code on the roof, oil change sticker from factory, parking lot location on the boat and pier, as well as the infamous shipping block.

 

I believe what will help most with this number issue is that production numbers are carried by two separate systems within Ford. #'s from Dearborn are easily tracked here in the US but it takes a bit more for this side of the Pond to access the European numbers. Boerni has contacts at various plants, compiles those VINS by date, and accounts for overall numbers. Is this 100% accurate? I dunno but he's provided this service for quite a few years now for many various platform members. Like the old riddle: How many licks does it take to get to the center of a Toostie Roll Pop? The world may never know.

 

I thought I read in several articles that there were only 2500 rs's available/sold in the u.s. from 2016 - 2018.

 

Here’s the “real” data direct from Ford.

There are markets other than the US and Canada. Amazing I know but there is the rest of the world out there including the country where the things are actually made.

US and Canada #'s only...interesting

 

It's definitely not the complete numbers - no magnetic grey and no orange heritage edtn models. But anyway it's nice to have at least USDM stats.

 

The total numbers available for North America & UK = 19,392
