This was the closest thing I found to an answer online. At least it lists possible shipping companies to call. In all likelihood, the answer will be to either own an airline, be a Saudi prince, or dont do it.

Must it go air?

I've had great luck shipping many motorcycles globally with Cartainer Ocean Line out of Linden NJ. They ship cars as well, ring them up.

It has been a few years since the last one went, but it was 10-12 days from NJ to the UK for $1,200. un-crated.

Of course from where to where is most important and not always does distance influence cost.

Shipping to Australia was the most expensive, even more than northern Finland on the Russian border.

BOL and pictures when it happens....

airfreight of a vehicle a Porsche to be exact is certainly possible if not a quick manner of expediting the
task.
A friend of mine used to airfreight cup cars to the US from Germany regularly during the nineties..
If I recall the airfreight was approx 5K give or take ...YMMV...Bert

more like 50k.

mrsullivan

Thanks for all the replies so far. I've heard answers all over the place, like in this thread, 5k or 50k

would love to hear actual numbers from someone out there

my sense is that $50k+ is probably in the right neighborhood

maybe be I should post this in the 918 section haha

Well, here is a data point from 2011:

Air freight is/was around $4 -5 per kilo plus fuel surcharge when I was air freighting cargo a few years back. Do the math plus extra handling charges for a vehicle.

Waiting for the right flight to balance cargo on the right plane will probably take just as long as ocean freight depending on where you are loading and unloading cargo. You will most likely need to truck it to the airport of loading and have a car carrier at airport of unloading to carry you to destination. Logistically will be challenging. I would call airlines (British Airways/Lufthansa) with cargo service from Europe direct and ask. Cars will not fit in the belly of an passenger aircraft I don't think. I recall 918s were flown on cargo airplanes to the US (Atlanta?) and cargo flights only go to major US airports.

Talk to the guy in the 993 Turbo Forum. He air shipped his RUF within the past year. Beautiful liquid silver color. Think it went to Ohio. Think screen name is FastMD. Thought it was about $7.5k.

You guys don't have a clue about airfreight prices so please stop posting your guesses. They serve no purpose in this thread.

Many years ago during the "grey Market" era, I purchased a BMW 635CSi and had it shipped air freight via Lufthansa. At the time, they were offering a "special" for $1,000 on a "space available" basis. Trouble was, there were so many ahead of me, it sat in Frankfurt for 1 month! I could've shipped it by boat, got it about the same time, saved money, spared the car a lot of dust and me a lot of grief. Lesson learned: Read the fine print!

Talk to this guy, RufMD:
