I believe it is so that you always know which cap goes on which side.
They're not to be interchanged (I'm not 100% sure about this, so owners feel free to correct me...but I believe that is at least part of the reasoning.)

 

Same car as the one crashed. Check out his home page with the crashed car registration WN EE 69 (same as the one above)

I don't think it's the same Gemballa. That seller has had that Gemballa listed for over a year. I guess if it is the same car someone paying over a million would be insane. Guess that's why it's not above 650k now on ebay

Side note the cgt's have different color Lugs on opposite sides red and yellow.

 

^ the ad is different, but I think it is the same one. Same mileage, same price. I didn't note the VIN from the earlier listing so can't be sure though.

 

one side has left-handed threads.

 

Wow this car has been listed for a year? This is not the kind of car you can buy and sell easily.

 

It doesn't actually say add start date but with 7800 views where most average a 100 it's been there for a while. If it's been wrecked and repaired since you'd think they might drop the price by a 100k or so

that's a lot of cheese ($)

 

same plate, same car

 

I still can't believe Gemballa made a 800 HP 996, but left the GT at 645 hp, is the V10 hard to tweak or something? I can't imagine a GT being outdone by a 996!

 

The Carrera GT and Mirage GT are naturally aspirated.

 

The "prince of Germany" crashed his car this year, not last year and it is NOT the same car that is in eBay! I contacted the seller and asked him if I could get better pics than those of Mirage GT #11 (the prince's car) which he uses for the auction. He answered that the car he is trying to sell is not built yet! Well, not as a Mirage GT, the Carrera GT base exists. The VIN is not the same as from Mirage #11. He also answered that the car he is selling is at Gemballa at the moment to be rebuilt into a Mirage, but there was no car in at that time and as far as I know there isn't one yet. Last Mirage GT (#13) left the factory end of August and so far I have no infos of any new one.

 

Why not just build a clone with a base high mileage donor for half the $$$ and all the pride

 

not worth that price..

 

beautiful car but way to much $
