Porsche Carrera GT
The Porsche Carrera GT (Project Code 980) is a mid-engined sports car that was manufactured by Porsche in Leipzig, Germany.
The
Carrera GT is powered by a 5.7 litre V10 engine producing 612 DIN (605
SAE) horsepower (450 kW), whereas the original concept car featured a
5.5 litre version rated at 558 hp (416 kW). Porsche claims it will
accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h (62.1 mph) in 3.9 seconds and has a
maximum speed of 330 km/h (205 mph), although road tests indicated that
in reality the car can accelerate from 0-60 mph (97 km/h) in
3.5 seconds and 0-100 mph (160 km/h) in 6.8 seconds, while 0-125 mph
(201 km/h) in 9.9 seconds.
The
Carrera GT has a basic five colour paint scheme which includes Guards
Red, Fayence Yellow, Basalt Black, GT Silver and Seal Grey. Custom
colours were also available from the factory. A traditional
six-speed manual transmission is the only available transmission.
Attached to this gearbox is a beechwood gearknob which pays homage to
the wooden gearknob used in the Porsche 917 Le Mans racers. In its
second year of production, a limited edition carbon fibre knob was also
made available.
The
Carrera GT has large side inlets and air dams that help cool the
large V10 engine that had 612 bhp (456 kW; 620 PS) framed by the carbon
fibre rear hood. Fitted with Porsche’s latest Carbon fibre-reinforced
Silicon Carbide (C/SiC) ceramic composite brake system, the 15-inch
(380 mm) SGL Carbon disc brakes make an impressive appearance underneath
the 19 inch front and 20 inch rear wheels. Similar to other Porsche
models, such as the 911, the GT includes an automated rear wing spoiler
which deploys above 70 mph (110 km/h).
The
interior is fitted with soft leather. Bose audio system and navigation
systems are available as options. In typical Porsche fashion,
the ignition is to the left of the steering wheel. This placement dates
back to the early days of Le Mans racing when drivers were required to
make a running start, hop into their cars, start them and begin the
race. The placement of the ignition enabled the driver to start the car
with his left hand and put it in gear with his right. Notable technology
includes a pure carbon fiber monocoque and subframe, dry sump
lubrication and inboard suspension. The carbon fiber monocoque and
subframe were produced and assembled by ATR Composites Group of Italy.
The spoiler of the Carrera GT extends into the air when the car reaches
about 60 miles (97 km) an hour and evens out the air flow, which causes
less drag. The Carrera GT radiator is about five times the size of a 911
Turbo’s.
