About this car
The 2005 Porsche Carrera GT delivers an uncompromising driving experience through its mid-mounted 5.7L V10 engine and rear-wheel-drive layout. With just 5,483 miles, this low-mileage example pairs the naturally aspirated V10 with a manual transmission, emphasizing precision and driver engagement in a lightweight Targa-bodied coupe.
Measuring 181.6 inches in length, 75.6 inches in width, and 45.9 inches in height, the Carrera GT maintains a low, aggressive stance with seating for two. The powertrain runs on premium unleaded fuel and returns 8 mpg in the city and 20 mpg on the highway, underscoring its focus on performance over efficiency.

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.
