Become Owner No. 1501 Promoted as Porsche's next generation flagship super sports car, the Carrera GT was officially unleashed onto the international motoring market in 2003, with Porsche planning to build just 1,500 models over the next three years at its factory in Leipzig, Germany.

Packed with racing-spec technology, the Carrera GT features an ultra-lightweight and durable carbon fiber monocoque frame. Combined with the all-new 5.7 liter V10 cylinder engine, the Carrera is capable of a staggering top speed of over 330km/h, with acceleration from 0-100km/h in less than 3.9 seconds.

The Carrera GT marks a departure from Porsche's traditional horizontally placed boxer engine, laying the foundations for an exciting new era in the amazing history of one of the world's top sports car makers.
