- The Porsche Carrera GT (Project Code 980) is a mid-engined sports car that was manufactured by Porsche in Leipzig, Germany.
The development of the Carrera GT can be traced back to the 911 GT1 and LMP1-98 racing cars. Due in part to the FIA and ACO rule changes in 1998, both designs had ended. Porsche at the time had planned on a new Le Mans prototype for 1999. The car was initially intended to use a turbocharged flat-6, but was later redesigned to use a new V10 engine, pushing the project back to planned completion in 2000. The V10 was a unit secretly built by Porsche for the Footwork Formula One team in 1992, but later shelved. The engine was resurrected for the Le Mans prototype and increased in size to 5.7 litres. Unfortunately the project was canceled after two days of testing for the first car, in mid-1999, mostly due to Porsche's wish to build the Cayenne SUV with involvement from Volkswagen and Audi, thus requiring engineering expertise to be pulled from the motorsports division. It was also speculated that VW-Audi chairman Ferdinand Piëch wanted Audi's new Le Mans Prototype, the Audi R8 not to face competition from Porsche in 2004.
Porsche did keep part of the project alive by using the 5.5 L V10 from the prototype in a concept car shown at the 2000 Geneva Motor Show, mainly in an attempt to draw attention to their display. Surprising interest in the vehicle and an influx of revenue provided from the Cayenne helped Porsche decide to produce the car, and development started on a road-legal version that would be produced in small numbers at Porsche's new manufacturing facility in Leipzig. Porsche started a production run of Carrera GTs in 2004, shipping the units with an MSRP of $440,000 USD and a dealer invoice price of approximately $414,800 USD. In addition, the delivery charge could be as much as $5,000 USD. The first Carrera GT went on sale in the US on January 31, 2004.
Originally a production run of 1,500 cars was planned. But Porsche announced in August, 2005 that it would not continue production of the Carrera GT through 2006, citing discontinuation was due to changing airbag regulations in the US. As of May 6, 2006, 1,270 GT's had been manufactured, with 604 being sold in the United States.
The Carrera GT is powered by a 5.7 litre V10 engine producing 612 PS (450 kW; 604 hp) , 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. 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 framed by the carbon fibre rear bonnet. 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 70 miles (110 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. Front and rear suspension consist of pushrod activated shock absorbers and dampers with front and rear anti-roll bars.
That V10 still sounds great today. ❤️❤️
Normal people will say "thats not fast, nowadays even a BMW M3 CS is faster then that..."
and they will never understand waht it means to make such a time in 2004, with old tire, suspension, aero and ABS + traction control technology...
and using a stickshift to top it off.
Also the risk of crashing a million dollar car... the time is absolutely incredible and bloody fast.
Driver says the stock suspension is too soft. He has more credit on the subject than anyone watching.
It has to be soft because it is a ROAD car before all.
What a howl down the straight!!
Man this guy can drive!
The only V10 sound I love.
fuck the lap time, one of the greatest cars of all times by far.
is still the best supercar than ever
She's probably the most beautiful and the most driveable car ever made
Driveable? Yes, only if you are supremely skilled. All of these "modern" car enthusiasts would embarrass themselves even reversing out of a parking space in this car.
dream car!!!
What a car!!! Unreal!
still the best:)
Would be really interesting to see what kind of a time it would achieve on modern rubber. Seems like the driver held back a bit through some faster bits, so I wouldn't be too surprised if it coud go sub 7.
He had too, if the tire and suspension don't give you the confidence, you just have to hold back. Better alignment, cup 2 on the revised track should do very low 7. Kw with harder springs and better dampening and it should do the magic 6
@@cutdepiefails6596 But how can that be? Walter Röhrl did the work on the suspension and he is the best
@@Lisa_M.322 sort off. First the spring the cgt had from him was a progressive rate not fixed, second cars are made shipped, run in and supposed to be re-aligned on the run in service, most never really got run in. Tires that came with cgt had no shelf life. Walter himself has said the cgt had the biggest spread of times on the nordschleife on test day (where manufacturers go to test their cars and they usually swap cars (walter drove an enzo and a murci and their drivers drove the cgt)). AA bars alone will make a night and day difference if service overlooks it and does an hard/hard you will be drifting out of every touch on the accelarator.
And remember that even the cgt has a wide range of acceptable alignment values and 0 toe and 1.5 minutes alone would make wayyy too much of a change. Walter as test drivers usually do, chose damper rates and AA bar rates and front rake for steering feel, rest is driver preference
@@cutdepiefails6596 Thats very interesting. Do you think the carrea gt is faster on track tahn the Enzo? There is an old interview from Walter from 2003Euro where he says that the carrera gt beats the enzo on every track but the time Marc Basseng drove with the carrera gt is the same time Walter drove. They both drove a 7:28. When two really talented drivets drive the same time how can the carrera gt be faster than this time. Where did you hear that Walter drove the Enzo and the Ferrari drivers the carrera gt? Ferrari never drove the Enzo on Nordschleife officialy. The 7:24 from Marc Basseng 2008 was the first time
@@cutdepiefails6596 how you change damper/extention/compression rate? And AA rate? ive always wondered that.
your the best for this video god bless u !
Imagine, the same car, same driver but 2021 tyres.
I think that will be 6 55 - 7 05~
So you wanna tell carrera gt would do a lap as fast as 918 spyder? It’s impossible, spyder has better suspension, better brakes, hybrid system giving more acceleration, Awd, auto box, active aero, lower drag, better weight distribution and the car is lower, how would à carrera gt keep with this time?
@@slonjdmsupra But don't forget that the Carrera GT is lighter than the 918 Spyder.
That would be too fast. I think a modern semi slick possibly made for this car specifically could shave off 10 seconds easily. Not sure about more though
@@xXAlmdudlerXx You were saying? It just did 7:12 with Cup2's. It didnt even have Cup2R's
@@horvathr95 Yep also saw it. Amazing. Expected 10+ but not 16. I think they didn´t use a CUp2R because even with the Cup2´s the suspension was at the limit. Quite some wobble and roll. WIth cup 2r´s especially made for the car and a modern KW V3 or so perhaps below 7 would be possible even, considering how fast it already went.
you have no idea how fast 7:28 is
by today standards, its a slug.
@@snchez2106 Compared to what?
@@poulhansen2415 Jaguar project 8
Put the car on new slicks 😏
@@snchez2106 this is extremely fast ESPECIALLY compared to newer cars, don't forget, the tyres are from 2004!!
The car could do better, its just so hard to drive apparently that i dont blame the driver for playing it safe out of the turns and on the straights
This car is just as fast as the new panamera, damn that's fast
It looks so easy to handle
No
because he is underdriving it
@@mantasisganaitis2281you havent got a clue.
He’s basically power shifting through the gears to get the lap time. Incredible skill
Podiam colocar pneus atuais e testar ela outra vez, o problema é achar algum maluco pra arriscar seus milhões 😂
The F1was still un beaten, the rest is history...
First Video i see were they are not granny shifting ....
Are you dumb?😂
Well, I noticed he didn't want to use the the kerbs
Because kerbs unsettle the car and increase lap time . Moron.
Trip to manthey et voilá it will make all the wrongs just right.
Hi
not impressed by the driver. pretty sure the car could have done a lot better.
take the wheel brother
Woohhaa
the corvette c6 zr1 is faster
Yes on the new modern tires. Put those same tires on this and the carrera will shit on its time
Bad driving. Missed a few apexes.
Please show us how it done mr hamilton.
