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.

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?

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

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?
