About this car
This 2005 Porsche Carrera GT appears in Basalt Black over a Dark Grey interior and shows just 3,989 miles from new. The two-owner example was first delivered to retired American racing driver John O'Steen and remains in original condition.
Its 5.7-liter naturally aspirated V10 engine drives the rear wheels through a six-speed manual transmission fitted with a wooden shift knob. The car employs a carbon fiber monocoque chassis, delivering the precise handling and performance expected of this model.
It is accompanied by its original dark grey five-piece luggage set and factory car cover, preserving the complete presentation of this low-mileage example.

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.
