Another one. Seems like several are cropping up from Canada. What gives? Some gas guzzler tax or they wiping out ability to drive gas powered cars? This one was apparently in a 'track incident'. https://bringatrailer.com/listing/20...nz-c63-amg-56/

I think this is the one that was crashed on the track, they fixed the front end and unloaded it onto Raymond at SRAutoGroup and he found out half the front end had been replaced - documents on BAT show the front end was replaced on this car - both were Alanite Matte Gray looks like it gained canards since this video.
99.99% sure it is the same car as both have the front bumper improperly painted as the bumper behind the passenger air intake should be blacked out from the factory, both these cars they didn't bother when they resprayed the bumper so you see it is gray behind the grill where it should be black

That's a good start... but there's gotta be more to it than just the exchange.

I think you're 99.9999% right about 99.99% sure its the same car - both the car in the video and BAT car have the same fully blacked out wheels (instead of OEM with silver 'lip').

hmm the mars one would fit the bill. A bit more than I would like to spend on one. For that money you are almost in 991 3rs territory.
mars TWO; yes, both are American Spec C63BS.
The one that has a lower asking in Germany from Mechatronik can be imported back to the states without issue, it is part of an amazing collection, if not the best Merc collection in the world:
For anyone that has done an European Delivery on a new car in the past, should know the experience is like, of taking delivery in Germany; Mechatronik is located in Stuttgart, you're able to take delivery, drive around town, swing by the Merc Museum & AMG HQ in Affalterbach for some photo-opt, drive on the Nurburgring Nordschleife for a few tourist laps, and when you're done, drop it back off at Mechatronik and they'll assist you with the export detail. Turning back the clock to 2012, a trip of a lifetime if you weren't able to buy one new back then, this is the perfect experience.
The other Mars Red that is in Michigan, belongs to a frequent AMG Driving Academy attendee, who is also an active member of the official AMG Private Lounge.
On the other hand, 991 gt3rs are dime a dozen anywhere you go, if you have the need of belonging, sure, go ahead and join the rest of the Pcar wolf pack community, they're a lot more resourceful than here and if there's a financial restrain that you must pick only one, definitely go with the RS than a BS; on the other hand, given the rarity of the BS, it's simply not something you can always find at any given time, even when you have all the $ in the world, especially if the eyes are set on an ideal spec, "how much" is never a question for the right buyer.
Not to mention, w/ same mileage & similar rarity (if at that, PTS/PXX spec'ed up the ying-yang?), an ideal 991 dot1 gt3rs would fetch double of either asking prices on those Mars Red; any 991 gt3rs in the teens would not be in an ideal spec / mileage / condition, you'd be in the pedestrian spec of a RS lol.
However, best bang for the buck in terms of performance, forget the 991gt3rs, search across the dealer network and find one that will give you a zero-markup on the 992.1gt3rs and RSVP that; take delivery months maybe over a year from now, you can hoon in that for a year or two, and flip it without losing any $.
