FactThe Carrera GT's V10 traces back to a cancelled Le Mans prototype program, the LMP2000, which Porsche shelved before racing it once.
A mid-engined Targa roadster built at Leipzig from 2003 to 2006 (1,270 made), designed by Jason Hill (concept) and Harm Lagaay (production) and descended from the 911 GT1 and the cancelled LMP2000 Le Mans prototype (the concept at the 2000 Paris Motor Show used its 5.5 L V10). The production 5.7 L (5,733 cc) 68-degree V10 (code 980/01) is aluminium, DOHC and chain-driven with variable valve timing on the intake cams, sodium-cooled exhaust valves, Nikasil bores and forged titanium connecting rods, rated at 612 PS (603 hp) at 8,000 rpm and 590 N⋅m (435 lb-ft) at 5,750 rpm, 12.0:1 compression, an 8,400 rpm redline and a ceramic twin-plate dry clutch feeding a six-speed manual. Carbon-fibre monocoque and chassis, 1,380 kg, 0.39 drag coefficient. Auto Motor und Sport measured 0–100 km/h in 3.57 s, the quarter mile in 10.97 s and a top speed of 334 km/h (official 330 km/h); Sports Car International placed it number one among the 2000s' top sports cars.

Owning one
We don’t estimate running costs for a car like this. What it costs depends on its condition, its specialist and how it is driven, and an average would mislead.

Rivals
Same body, same money, other badges — tap any card to flip.
The Jalpa's name comes from a breed of fighting bull, continuing Lamborghini's tradition of naming models after bulls.
The 348 brought Formula 1 to the road: its transverse gearbox layout was adapted straight from Ferrari's 312T Grand Prix car.
The F50's V12 traces its architecture directly to the 3.5-litre engine of Ferrari's 1990 641 Formula One car.
Koenigsegg built only two CCX Editions, a number so small it undercuts most limited runs by a factor of ten.
The CCX exists because Koenigsegg redesigned its entire hypercar around one goal: finally meeting US safety and emissions rules so Americans could legally buy one.
This 308's four-valve heads weren't only about more power — they solved a real problem: the earlier two-valve engine's sodium-filled valves were known to fail at the joint between head and stem.
This 308 became a TV icon by accident of casting: Tom Selleck drove one around Oahu as Thomas Magnum for eight seasons of Magnum, P.I., burning its silhouette into 1980s pop culture.
It kept its prototype code as its name: in Fiat's system X1 meant a passenger car, and this was the ninth one developed.
