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! |

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? |
