This amazing Carrera GT was Sold new buy our dealership to a local owner. The basalt black exterior does make this GT stand out from the other A1 Black cars seen out there.

Possibly the most desirable Porsche investment road going automobile ever built offering true race car performance with its midship V10 motor connected in a full race inspired chassis.

No doubt you already know all about this car but just incase we have added a little more below. This car is ready to be SOLD NOW so if you are ready to find a GT for your collection please take your time and MAKE US AN OFFER.

One of 1,270 made.

With its V10 engine providing more than 600 horsepower and with an array of cutting-edge technologies, including a ceramic-composite clutch and brakes beneath its carbon-reinforced body, the Porsche Carrera GT uses the undiluted qualities of a genuine racecar to provide an unprecedented driving experience on the road.

Among the car's unique features are its 5.7-liter, 605-horsepower V10 engine, its monocoque chassis with Porsche-patented engine and transmission mounts made of carbon-reinforced plastic and the first use of a ceramic composite clutch in a production car. The Carrera GT's aerodynamic and race-bred suspension package provides safe and stable travel at speeds of up to 205 mph. The Carrera GT features the extensive use of lightweight materials, such as magnesium for the car's substantial wheels and the frames of its special sport seats.

The result of such artistic and athletic equipment is a car that accelerates from a standing start to 62 mph in only 3.9 seconds, reaches 100 mph in less than seven seconds, 125 mph in less than 10 seconds, and can achieve a top test-track speed of 205 mph.

Porsche's development center in Weissach, Germany, built a 5.5-liter, normally aspirated V10 engine for racing, and that engine's bores have been enlarged to displace 5.7 liters in the Carrera GT. Maximum output is rated at 605 horsepower at 8,000 rpm, with peak torque of 435 lb-ft. The engine has a very low center of gravity, a 68-degree V angle and four-valves-per-cylinder heads. The engine block serves as a load-bearing part of the chassis structure, yet is so strong that there is no distortion to the cylinder bores. Dry-sump lubrication reduces the number of engine components and seals and also helps optimize weight and reliability.

The engine has a closed-deck configuration, a principle carried over from motorsports. This closeddesk architecture enables the cylinders to be cooled by internal water chambers that directly surround the cylinders. Three front-mounted radiators and cross flow cooling ensure optimum heat transfer even under high engine loads.

The engine weighs only 472 pounds (214 kg). The block, crankshaft and camshafts are all made of light alloys. The crankshaft is designed to operate at speeds of up to 8,400 rpm and is both forged and designed for minimum mass inertia and thus offers maximum torsional stiffness.

The chassis and suspension of the Porsche Carrera GT are based on the architecture of the Porsche GT1, the car that won the 24 Hours of Le Mans race in 1998. Like a racecar, the Carrera GT uses pushrod suspension with double-track control arms at all four corners to give the Carrera GT its refined response and behavior, feeding forces smoothly and efficiently into the car's chassis. Where many cars use MacPherson spring struts, the Carrera GT's spring and damper elements are operated by stainless steel pushrods and pivot levers, which separate the guidance function from the spring action.

Even with its racing-quality performance, the Porsche Carrera GT has a cockpit characterized by functional ambience and the extensive use of high-tech materials, like carbon, magnesium and leather.
The car's center console is made of composite materials covered in galvanized magnesium and features the chassis number imprinted on the surface. The shift lever is positioned about halfway up the console directly next to the steering wheel.

The seats are finished in smooth leather and have manual adjustment because power motors would add unnecessary weight. The seats are made of a composite carbon shell.

Air conditioning is optimized for weight and the car comes with a standard air filter system. A glass screen is mounted between the supplemental safety bars to help reduce wind buffeting.
