Porsche Carrera GT

Roadster, 2005

Highlights

  • 1-Owner
  • Fresh Service Included
  • #969 of 1,270 Carrera GTs built

The Carrera GT occupies a pivotal place in Porsche’s halo-car lineage, following the groundbreaking 959 and the rare 911 GT1 Straßenversion, while preceding the hybrid 918 Spyder. First shown in concept form at the 2000 Paris Motor Show, it has now passed the 25-year mark since its public debut. Hand-assembled in Leipzig, Germany, and limited to 1,270 examples, the Carrera GT pairs a carbon-fiber chassis with a naturally aspirated 5.7-liter V10 that puts out over 600 horsepower, with power going exclusively to the rear wheels through a six-speed manual transmission.

Two-time World Rally Champion and Porsche Works Driver, Walter Röhrl played a key role in its development, while the V10’s high-revving character and evocative soundtrack remain central to the Carrera GT’s enduring analog appeal.

The vehicle in detail

This particular example, #969 of 1,270 Carrera GTs built, is finished in Guards Red, one of Porsche’s most celebrated shades and the rarest of the five standard-production colors. It is believed to be one of just 80 examples produced in this color worldwide, with only 42 delivered to the United States.

The low-slung bodywork, styled by Harm Lagaay, seen here in this striking shade, is complemented by lightweight forged magnesium five-spoke center-lock wheels finished in silver, yellow-painted Porsche Carbon Ceramic Brake (PCCB) calipers, a retractable rear spoiler and removable roof panels that stow beneath the front hood. Underneath, the pushrod-actuated suspension and compact Porsche Ceramic Composite Clutch further reflect its competition-derived engineering.

Inside, the dark gray leather interior features carbon-fiber bucket seats, exposed carbon fiber, traditional five-dial instrumentation and the Carrera GT’s elevated six-speed carbon-fiber shifter. The original build specification also confirms air conditioning, a high-capacity battery, the Carrera GT sound system, and Porsche Online Pro CD radio.

The car’s documented history shows limited use from new, with mileage records remaining consistent throughout its life. Early entries record low miles, followed by fewer than 4,000 miles by the early 2010s and 5,600 miles as shown today.

Most notably, ahead of its offering on duPont REGISTRY Live, this Carrera GT was sent to Graham Rahal Performance for a comprehensive service and completion of its outstanding Porsche recall work. The buyer will receive a freshly serviced with all repairs and recalls completely up to date.

More than two decades after production ended, the qualities that made the Carrera GT remarkable when new have become increasingly difficult to replicate in the age of engine downsizing and electrification. With low mileage, a clean CARFAX, no reported accidents or damage, and one of only 42 US-delivered examples believed to have been finished in Guards Red, this Carrera GT combines rarity, and the distinctly analog character that continues to make Porsche’s V10 halo car increasingly sought after.
