How many 4C Spiders left in the US?

9,195 is incredibly rare huh? At the last car show were three (3) yellow spiders and two coupes... A red one and a gray one. I personally know of at least two other 4Cs a red spider and another red coupe all within about a 75 mile radius. That is seven that I know of... Want rare, try my Dino 308gt4 they built 3,666 308s and 208s across seven years of production. See how many of them you can find running. I usually see two locally, mine and an orange one...

Musing over what constitutes ‘Rare’ in the motoring sphere.

In the case of the 4C, I don’t think the rarity is purely about about the production numbers across its manufacturing life-span…rather the sparse sighting of them when you are driving. Seeing another whilst you are on the road..is certainly an occasion and almost always as unexpected as it is being joyful.

Oh…on the topic. How many cars can you list where there chassis is made from a monocoque carbon tub ? I think that puts the 4C out of sight in any argument where this car is believed to not be classified or regarded as rare (especially where price point comes into the equation)

BRW I do love and appreciate the Dino gt4…I’m an enthusiastic of classic Italian machinery and previously owned a pretty rare car made in Sant ‘Agata. Production run 410 across 8 years with 34 those in RHD. It was hard to get my head around every time I drove it…(at the time with only 20+ RHD known to be in circulation)…knowing I was only a moment of madness away from contributing towards its extinction.

PS. Everything’s relative as they say. When Audi assumed ownership/operation of Lamborghini, they produced more Gallardo’s in the first seven years of production (from 2003) than Lambo had manufactured collectively across all models, since it was established in 1963.
