How many 550's

I have a 2001...so that's one for sure

 

me too that #2

 

Don't have the actual figure handy, but there is an elderly thread where the number of 2001 550's has been mentioned already by a member. The figures used in the advertisememt might be correct, but I even remember a lower production figure of around 300 550's in total for 2001.

Saluti,

seems like the 350 range sounds about right and if 25 % goes to US the ad could be about right....
I also own one and i understand it is the 32 from the last 550 made world wide.. this was discussed in another thread recently
WHen i bought my 550 a few years ago i placed an extra value on the 2001 As I felt the last year production would be better for me.. as they tended to have more options etc....I remember it was even then hard to find one....

 

While you are at it, I would be curious to know how many 1997s were built and how many came to the US? Seems like 1997 was a lower production year as well...although there are unfortunately not similar benefits for seeking one out... :-(

 

I only have production numbers for 1997 and 2001 for the US. There were 94 1997 550s imported to the US and 290 2001s.

Howard- Not broken out that way. Same for the 575M and Superamerica. 235 total of both for 2005, but no breakdown by model.

 

Howard- Very late and there were several preproduction 575Ms built before your 550. There was another large batch built with SNs between 126020 and 126046 and 126047 is a 575M. Another batch from 126271-126273, 126522-126536,126800-126807 and the last one I see is 126807, although I probably missed a later one or two. 575M production was in full swing by 126896.

 

Wow! I have a relatively rare car then. 1 of 94. And supposedly 1 of 2 in a special order color. Wonder if anyone will ever care?

 

Hooking on to the post by Taz re the NHTSA website, just select year and then click "get production Rates" to see vehicle production by each year. Appears that 2001 was the year with the highest number of 550's produced for the USA.

Just be aware the NHTSA site does not have complete information for all years and in some years models are combined.

 

I assume about 380 Maranello have been manufactured in 2001 (from about 122711 to 126807).

Interesting, that means, that 72 % of the 2001 produced Maranellos went to the USA. Impressive figure.

So only appr. 90 european cars where produced in 2001, the final year of the 550. If you break them down only by the various exterior/interior combinations available, each one will be a quiet unique car.....

Due to these facts, 2001 550's looks like a good investment for collectors in europe, there will be always only a few available.

Just pulled these numbers from an old registry of 550's. Don't know if these are all correct, but below is what I found by sorting the USA production numbers for the 550

1997 - 102
1998 - 173
1999 - 259
2000 - 269
2001 - 137

Total the would be around 940, which seems a little low. But think this helps show which years had the most and least production. Maybe someone can validate this data with Ferrari North America? I am going to call FNA and see what I can dig up.

 

Note the number I quoted for 2001 550s probably includes Maranellos and Barchettas.

 

That is amazing. Assuming 20-30 were totaled and another dozen or so sold overseas or to Mexico would I be correct to assume 900 550s are remaining in the US? That would make them one of the more rare modern day Ferraris.

 

A Registry is usually made up of people who have joined and registered their VIN in an effort to catalogue their cars. The goal is to get everyone to join and register their cars, but it is not a reflection of the production numbers.

 

My bad. I thought it was production numbers.

 

Ok, total 550 that were produced for the US is around 1,000. Think everyone would agree with this number.

So the registry data that I found indicated that there were 940 US versions of the 550 produced, which would be "in range" (the registry data is fairly accurate from I have been told). Note, this number excluded the Barchettas.

Back to what Taz said earlier in the thread, if total 550 & Barchetta production for 2001 was 240, and the data I provided for just the 550's was 137 for 2001, that would leave approx 110 Barchettas for 2001.

Think these numbers make some sense for US production numbers for the 2001 550 & Barchetta.

 

Typo - Taz said 290...not 240. That would mean 153 Barchettas for the US, which seems high at first glance.
