And it has been disassembled and rebuilt 78 times. The Porsche Academy in Georgia has a beautiful, near-million-dollar hypercar, that Porsche offers a course to select dealer technicians on how to service the model. Although, there were not many of them actually built, there are still enough out there where there is a need for dealer knowledge.
Instead of Porsche having to own a bunch of GT's for this class to train on, why not just one that comes apart and back together over and over again. Get this, it only has 1,445 miles on the engine and chassis. All of which are from it being taken to customer events or from numerous shakedown drives after it's been reassembled.

I was there when it came off the Lufthansa 747 cargo plane here in Atlanta in 2004. We put it on a flatbed and drove it to Phoenix Parkway, where our old training facility was located.
