Default import a GT3 RS 997.2 from Germany to US

Does anyone know if I can import a 997.2 GT3 RS from Germany into the US?
I read about non US approved bucket seats, rear bumper, roll bar, etc.

full clubsport car would be something. But you may only get a permit to use it for "display" use only. Thus limited to race tracks.

Just buy a 997.2 RS and buy the non approved US parts.

The simple answer, coming from someone who has imported a dozen modern Porsche's - no. It is way beyond cost-prohibitive vs. buying the same car here.

It is one thing to spend the requisite $100,000+ in transport, duty and conversion costs for a seriously rare and collectible car, but stay away at this level.

Does the German Ver have the plexiglass rear window?

I'm thinking about bringing in Mini Coopers and starting a business. Just for the love of it.
