Some GT2RS Cars Didn't Make It Onto The Boat
 
So they are flying them from Germany into LAX this weekend for the West Coast delivery event.

Would LOVE to see them coming off the plane.

Hmmmm.....I'm sure they will fly them out via FRA. I'm gonna ask my buddy at Lufthansa Cargo tomorrow if he knows something. Maybe I could snap some pics before they go on board :)

Ouch! That's a big hit to their profits if the future owners haven't paid for air freight! I'd imagine air is quite a bit more money!

What is the cost of sea vs air for USA orders out of interest?

I just called him and he said, they had a last-minute allocation today for 4 cars on sunday, but not sure if it's Porsche. I'm gonna have more info tomorrow!!

When they made the Carrera CT you could opt to have yours flown over for an additional $17,000!

KLM

KL60128 (AMS-LAX) arriving LAX Friday 12:50

Pics would be priceless.

Yes, they would! :)

Air Freight is surprisingly not so costly. I did some digging and it seems about US$5000 will get a 3100lb car from Amsterdam to Los Angeles.

Update: per Flightaware: KLM601 scheduled ETA LAX 12:54pst..actual 12:58pst.
This is not a "freight" flight, but a B747-400 carrying pax+freight, so freight will take a little longer to unload. Wonder if KLM can use the great Lufthansa facility to handle palletized P-cars?
