The Carrera GT is a race-bred sports car that redefines the possibilities of road engineering.

To achieve this, we've applied our own unique philosophy of vehicle design to create a car that is more than the sum of its parts.

While the engine is easily one of the most powerful on the road, it is primarily designed as an integral part of a competitive racing package. Applied to the road, it offers pure exhilaration plus remarkable day-to-day practicality. A blend of characteristics that exceeds expectations, even by the standards of our own engineers.

Throughout the car, everything we've used is defined by our race expertise. From the carbon-fibre chassis with inboard suspension to the new V10 engine, six-speed racing gearbox and the radical new ceramic clutch system.

Together, these technologies offer genuine race performance with exemplary dynamics and braking from speed. Precision steering is combined with inherent rear-end stability to ensure a more cultured ride in virtually all road scenarios.

In line with the concept of integrated design, every system and every component is custom-engineered to the car. Among the key ingredients

of that overall concept are the race-derived chassis construction techniques and the use of high-tech materials to help minimise weight.

Other key benefits include the car's remarkable practicality and exceptional active safety. The torsional stiffness of the chassis, for example, is greater than the majority of modern coupes - despite the open-top design. The Porsche Ceramic Composite Brake (PCCB) uses high-tech wearing parts and six-piston calipers to achieve breathtaking deceleration and endless fade resistance under even the most demanding track conditions.

Despite the racing origins, we've even found space for a luggage compartment in the front. This practical feature offers a perfect fit for the tailored travel bag supplied as standard equipment.

When the sun shines and convertible weather has arrived, there's a lightweight detachable hardtop, which can be easily removed and stowed in the luggage compartment. As you can see, there's so much more to supercar performance than simply supercar power and torque. Thanks to consistent attention to every detail of the car, the Carrera GT is yet another tour de force from the Porsche R&D Centre in Weissach.
