Porsche Carrera GT 2006 for sale

Porsche Carrera GT only 9,746 km! - Year 2006 First delivery in Germany Only 9,746 km! The development of the Carrera GT dates back to a Le Mans prototype that Porsche planned to use in the 2000 season. The chassis of the Carrera GT largely corresponds to that of the 911 GT1, the car that won Le Mans in 1998. For the 2000 season, the car was further developed and was to receive the naturally aspirated V10 engine, originally conceived for the Footwork Arrows Formula 1 team. However, in November 1999, Porsche decided to no longer participate in Le Mans and the project was put on hold. In 2000, Porsche presented a concept car with the 5.5-liter V10 at the Paris Motor Show. The design of this car differed only in details from the later production Carrera GT and was met with great interest from the public. After the launch of the Cayenne in 2002 and its excellent sales, Porsche again had greater financial freedom and thus decided to build the Carrera GT in an exclusive limited series. The V10 engine was increased to 5.7 liters and now produced 612 hp at 8,000 rpm. The Porsche Carrera GT was also the first production vehicle in which the monocoque and engine support were completely made of CFRP. The car, which weighs only 1,380 kg, accelerates from 0 to 100 in 3.5 seconds and reaches a top speed of 334 km/h. Walter Röhrl significantly contributed to the development of the car, conducting, among other things, the suspension tuning tests. For a short time, the Carrera GT also held the lap record for production vehicles on the Nordschleife, driven by the editor-in-chief of the automotive magazine "Sport Auto". The transmission is via a 6-speed manual gearbox with a gear lever made of balsa, in homage to the legendary Porsche 917. The wheels are secured as in racing with center locks of different colors: blue on the right, red on the left. It also features a carbon-ceramic braking system and a racing clutch. The underside consists of a complex air channeling system that helps the Carrera GT exploit ground effect. This way it can maintain its trajectory even at high speeds. Additionally, it is supported by a rear wing that automatically rises at a speed of 120 km/h to further increase downforce. Only 1,270 vehicles were produced by Porsche Leipzig in 175 hours of manual labor each. Our car was ordered in GT Silver Metallic with black leather interior and was first registered by its first German owner.
