Porsche Carrera GT

The Porsche Carrera GT was introduced in 2004. It is a very low lightweight car. Though the car is meant to be topless, it does come with removable roof panels that can be stored in the front trunk to provide protection from the elements should you feel the need to go fast when the weather’s not the best.

The Carrera GT features a 5.7 liter, 605 break horsepower V10 engine. It also has Porsceh-patented engine and transmission mounts made of carbon reinforced plastic. The car has an aerodynamic and race-bred suspension package which provides for safe and stable travel at speeds of up to 205 mph.

orsche developed the engine at their development center in Weissach, Germany. They originally built a 5.5 liter engine but then enlarged the bores to displace 5.7 liters specially for the Carrera GT. The engine has a very low center of gravity with a 68 degree V angle.

The chassis and suspension are based on the “24 Hours of Le Mans” winner of 1998, the Porsche GT1. Like the GT1 the rear track control arms are made of aerodynamically designed steel tubes. They didn’t forget that comfort was a factor when they designed this street road going supercar.
