If you look closely then you'll see that the picture on lego.com DOES have 2
beams on the opposite side. It is really hard to see but when you look close
you'll spot it. That means that when looking from the front of the car, the
left side uses 2 beams and the right side uses only one. But why? Maybe TLC
wanted to see if the wing doors would look better with an extra beam. But
those 2 pictures are without a doubt the same model just taken from different
angles.
