About this car
The 2005 Porsche Carrera GT presents a rare opportunity to own one of the most uncompromising supercars of its era. Finished in Black with a Gray interior, this mid-engine coupe pairs a 5.7L V10 with a 6-speed manual transmission and rear-wheel drive. With just 3,065 miles, the car remains in exceptional condition and delivers the raw performance expected from Porsche’s flagship at the time, producing 605 horsepower and 435 lb-ft of torque.
Every element of the Carrera GT was engineered for track-focused driving while retaining grand-tourer civility on the road. The lightweight construction, advanced suspension geometry, and massive ceramic disc brakes provide precise handling and stopping power. Inside, the driver-focused cockpit features supportive bucket seats trimmed in leather, a sport steering wheel, and a comprehensive suite of driver aids including navigation and a premium Bose audio system.
Key equipment includes a navigation system, Bose sound system, AM/FM radio with CD player, leather upholstery, power windows, remote keyless entry, telescoping steering wheel, illuminated entry, four-wheel independent suspension with anti-roll bars, performance tires on 19- and 20-inch wheels, headlight washers, high-intensity discharge headlights, rear fog lights, heated and power-adjustable body-color mirrors, a rear spoiler, and integrated roll-over protection.

The Porsche Carrera GT, produced between 2004 and 2007, is a mid-engine supercar renowned for its engineering and rarity, making it a prized asset for exotic car collectors. Only 1,270 units were built, with production initially planned for 1,500 but halted early due to changing safety regulations. Primarily sold in the U.S. and Europe, its limited numbers contribute to its exclusivity and rising market value, often fetching over $1 million at auctions today.
Powered by a 5.7-liter V10 engine derived from motorsport technology, the Carrera GT delivers 605 horsepower and 435 lb-ft of torque, paired with a 6-speed manual transmission. It achieves 0-60 mph in 3.5 seconds and a top speed of 205 mph, showcasing exceptional performance for its era. Unique features include a carbon-fiber monocoque chassis, ceramic composite brakes, and a minimalist interior focused on driver engagement. Historically significant as one of Porsche’s most extreme road cars, it bridges the gap between race-inspired design and street legality. Its rarity, combined with the absence of modern driver aids like traction control, enhances its appeal to purist collectors seeking an analog supercar experience.
