€1m Porsche Carrera GT

[London Irish]

From the Irish Independent newspaper:

Dublin motorist pays €1m Porsche Carrera GT

Alas, visitors to Des Cullen cars in Rathmines will not get a chance to see Porsche's supercar Carrera GT. With a price tag of €1 million, the car was sold over the weekend to a Dublin buyer, according to Des Cullen.

Obviously the new owner was keen to jump ahead of the waiting list, paying a €300,000 premium on the Carrera's Irish retail price of €675,612, the official price which includes all Irish taxes.

Ireland's most prominent supercar dealer, Des Cullen is also due to take delivery of six Aston Martin DB9s this year.

Must be mad, they're going for only a small premium over here on the mainland, and experts like Tom Hartley reckon they'll be at list in a couple of months

Because of taxes (Vehicle Registration Tax) the list for a Carrera GT is €675,612 in Ireland.

The €1m price smells of a marketing ploy to me. I cannot think anyone would be so stupid as not to price in UK for that kind of car.......
