People tell me the yellow F430 is rare...anyone have production figures?
As I understand and remember, next to Ferrari "red" , giallo was 2nd most popular color. Just do a search I know its in here some where.
In 2008 about 4 % of Ferraris were yellow - the chart is here somewhere - black grey and even white were way more popular
Here are some stats: Ferrari Production Statistics Color 1997 1998 1999 2000 2001 2002 2003 2004 2005 2006 2007 2008 Red 52.9% 46.8% 47.4% 45.9% 46.1% 48.2% 54.6% 55.0% 51.4% 50.4% 47.9% 45.8% Black 7.4% 9.5% 9.5% 8.0% 8.9% 9.6% 10.9% 14.2% 15.7% 18.0% 21.7% 22.1% Grey 16.6% 17.7% 21.5% 26.7% 25.2% 25.4% 18.1% 16.0% 20.9% 19.4% 17.1% 13.5% Yellow 10.3% 10.2% 10.2% 7.6% 8.9% 7.1% 5.7% 4.1% 4.5% 3.7% 3.4% 3.5% Blue 10.6% 14.0% 9.9% 9.3% 8.5% 7.3% 7.8% 7.4% 4.9% 3.7% 2.7% 3.0% White 0.6% 0.5% 0.4% 0.8% 1.0% 0.8% 1.2% 1.7% 1.5% 2.8% 3.5% 5.8% Green 1.2% 1.1% 0.7% 0.6% 0.5% 0.4% 0.1% 0.1% 0.0% 0.0% 0.0% 0.0% Other 0.3% 0.2% 0.4% 1.2% 1.1% 1.1% 1.5% 1.4% 1.3% 1.9% 3.6% 6.3% All figures are in % and from issue 4 of the Official Ferrari Magazine.
