MARKET DATA · 718 (982) GENERATION

How rare is your spec, really?

Real production counts and factory color distributions — the same kind of market intelligence collectors dig through forums for, pulled straight from Sophia's database. This is a first slice: the 982-generation 718 lineup, Cayman GT4 and Spyder color breakdowns, and the Spyder RS launch allocation.

Factory color distribution

Every exterior color built, by trim. Paint to Sample and custom colors are grouped separately from the standard palette.
