About this car
The 2005 Porsche Carrera GT delivers uncompromising performance with its mid-mounted 5.7L V10 engine, producing 605 horsepower through a 6-speed manual transmission and rear-wheel drive. Finished in Black with a Black removable top, this example features a Brown leather interior and has covered just 9,197 miles.
Power comes from a water-cooled 5.7L 10-cylinder engine with dry sump lubrication and four valves per cylinder, mated to a 2-disc ceramic dry clutch. The chassis employs double wishbone suspension with coil-over shocks, power steering, and 4-channel ABS, while the CXX option brings factory 19- and 20-inch forged center-lock wheels in black and silver paint.
Additional equipment includes an automatic retractable spoiler, 6-piston yellow brake calipers, and vented ceramic brake discs. Inside, the cabin is equipped with air conditioning, power windows, a central locking system with keyless remote, power heated side mirrors, a leather steering wheel, genuine wood trim, and a Porsche AM/FM CD audio system.

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.
