Like Porsche Carrera GTabandoned and forgotten in the former Ferrari and Maserati dealership in Guangzhou. According to Periodismodel Motor, it was the first Carrera GT in China, and the car had two owners before it arrived at the dealership, but it's unclear if it was left there for sale or just for storage.
