About this car
The 2005 Porsche Carrera GT is a striking coupe finished in GT Silver Metallic with a Terracotta leather interior. Powered by a 5.7L V10 engine paired with a 6-speed manual transmission and rear-wheel drive, this example delivers the raw performance expected from Porsche's flagship supercar of the era.
With just 1,563 miles, the car features silver magnesium wheels, a manual composite sunroof, and a full suite of driver-focused instrumentation including a tachometer, trip computer, clock, external temperature display, and low fuel level warning. The cockpit is trimmed with aluminum accents on the dash and doors, a genuine wood shift knob, and a leather-wrapped steering wheel with telescopic adjustment.
Standard equipment emphasizes both comfort and capability, from the Bose premium audio system with concealed antenna and AM/FM stereo to power windows, power door locks, power remote mirrors, and a power remote trunk release. Four-wheel independent suspension with front and rear stabilizer bars, a mechanical limited-slip differential, and 4-wheel ABS provide the dynamic foundation, while safety features include dual front airbags, side airbags, an engine immobilizer, and side-impact door beams.

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.
