    What is this?

    I was driving by Quonset Point, RI recently and saw this car in the lot. Quonset is a port that VW/Audi, Porsche, and Subaru use to bring in East coast cars.

    This one seems to be a GT3 RS race car of some sort, but I'm surprised that they sent it by ship instead of air.

    Looking over the lots, surprisingly, Audi protects their cars "in transit" much better than Porsche.

    Oh, I think you're right. I didn't think the rear wings were so big on the street cars, but this picture proves me wrong.

    That looks exactly like a photo over on Rennlist of a white early delivery 4 liter.

    Tom, that makes sense for the production cars. I thought initially that with the huge rear wing it must be one of the race cars - which I assume are air freighted over.

    Steven, I took that picture over a month ago, so they have been shipping them here for a while.

    This was the next lot over, a passel of R 8s.
