The mystery Porsche spotted at LAX that Porsche didn’t recognize has finally been identified

The mystery Porsche spotted at LAX a few months ago has finally been identified.

The picture went viral but no one was able to identify the vehicle in question.

Then speculation started, and a lot of people said it was a GT1 but they couldn’t tell which GT1.

Now we know for sure what it is, and it isn’t a factory model.

A limited-edition GT1 for collectors

The car in question is a Tuthill Porsche GT ONE, a limited-edition beauty designed for collectors.

It was engineered by Tuthill Porsche, a UK-based firm, and only 22 will be produced.

Featuring a full carbon fiber body, the GT ONE is powered by a 4.0-liter flat-six, capable of delivering 500 horsepower in its naturally aspirated variant, or 600 horsepower with forced induction.

The car is available with a dual-clutch seven-speed transmission, or a manual equivalent.

Further proof that the BMW exec who said manual transmissions are destined to die is probably right, but there’s still time before manual gearboxes disappear altogether.

The story behind the mystery Porsche

The mystery car was initially spotted at LAX just a few days before Monterey Car Week back in August.

Apparently, no one knew what it was – not even the brand, as it turns out.

Car website, Jalopnik, reached out to the German automobile manufacturer to see if they had any idea where the car had come from.

A spokesperson from Porsche said that the car ‘looked cool’, but they didn’t know what model it was.

For some reason, we have a feeling that may have been inaccurate.
