Porsche CEO Oliver Blume told Hagerty “70% of the cars we have ever built are still on the road"

Interesting notion. 

This has me wonder, has any other car maker that made as many cars as Porsche, any idea how many cars they've made which are still on the road? Ferrari maybe.

Rolls Royce maybe, Shelby cars probably, as the Shelby registry is possibly the most interested in the various Shelby vehicles - more interested in it's demographic than Porsche or Ferrari owner clubs

  1. Car companies get these numbers by searching the DMV records. All these numbers tell them are how many of their cars are registered, not how many are actually drivable.

  2. Over 65 percent of all Rolls-Royces are still on the road. That's counting from 1904 BTW
