Hi all,
While doing a bit of research, I came upon a few sites which quote sales figures for the mid-engine Porsches. Per Wikipedia, that bastion of facts (?) the Porsche 914 and 914/6 combined sales were 118,978 cars over 1970-1976 (7 sales years).
According to http://carsalesbase.com/european-car-sales...orsche-boxster/ and http://carsalesbase.com/us-car-sales-data/...orsche-boxster/ Total sales for the Boxster/S (only, not including the Cayman) have totaled 118,744 US sales over 1997-2017 and 129,437 Euro/Rest of World over the same period, totaling 248,181 over a 21 year lifespan.
Curiously, the US Boxster sales just reached the total 914/914-6 sales mark, and overall, total Boxster sales surpassed 914 sales during the 1997-2002(6 sales years) period when cumulative Boxsters sold was 119,156.
I'd say mid-engined Porsches have saved Porsche more than once! Just a bit of trivia for you all.
