About this car
This 2005 Porsche Carrera GT represents a rare opportunity to own one of the most focused road-going supercars of its era, showing just 448 miles from new. Powered by a naturally aspirated 5.7L V10 engine paired with a precise manual transmission and rear-wheel drive, the Carrera GT delivers unfiltered performance through its lightweight construction and race-derived chassis.
With an overall length of 181.6 inches, width of 75.6 inches, and height of 45.9 inches, the Targa-bodied two-seater maintains a low, aggressive stance while offering open-air motoring. Premium unleaded fuel feeds the 10-cylinder powerplant, which is rated at 8 mpg city and 20 mpg highway, underscoring its uncompromising character.

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.
