Carrera GT competition
Crispi74 2w ago
I was looking at the official performance of the Carrera GT.
0-100 kph 3.9
0-160 kph 6.9
0-200 kph 9.9
0-300 kph less than 30
0-1000m 20.0
Top speed 330 kph
Weight 1380 kg at dry
Total weight 1600 kg
Honestly I'm not sure if the car was averaging able to do these figures, cause of lower power or higher weight, but 20 seconds on the standing km and less than 30 secs to 300 kph seems were rare numbers with that car.
When the car was seriously tested 0-200 kph was reached well over 10 seconds, the 1000 meters distance was mostly closer to be half second past 20. The 300 kph figure most of the times approaced 35 seconds or some seconds later half minute.
I'm asking what could be the reason of that discrepancies because just looking at variance from 0-300 kph was not negligible.
Maybe a reason of early test mule car used for official homologated performance figures?

Hitting 60mph (with a less than ideal start, don’t forget) in 3.8sec, the GT then makes 100mph in 7.6, 120mph in 10.7, 150mph in 17.3 and 180mph in 32.5
Literally Hellcat (Charger, as well as Challenger with 8-speed ZF auto option) and F90 M5 (RWD mode) territory.
wallenieswiftie 3m ago
I only wish FastestLaps's estimated acceleration data would have extra support based on best 1/4-mile times and trap speeds, and even optimistic 400-1000m gaps that contradict with the best posted 0-200kph time. An 8.4 400-1000m gap would place this car on par with the McLaren F1 and the Ferrari Enzo, both hypercars that officially do 0-200 in less than 10 seconds. This car is positioned a bit below both because of several drawbacks: combining bad aero and heavy weight with manual transmission; though, Enzo has bad aero and carries heavy weight also; and F1 has manual, too. The Carrera GT feels a bit soft in both design and powertrain; it's relatively civilized inside, it's only a 5.7L V10 with 605 hp instead of a 6.0L V12 with 650 hp, which means it pretty much bridges the gap between the original Murcielago and the Enzo. Just like the SLR McLaren, if this one came out a few more years later, it would be perfectly squared against the LP640 as well as the 599GTB-F, and maybe even the LP670-4 SV and the 599GTO.

https://www.emdauto.com/collections/porsche/products/carrera-gt-giac-performance-ecu-software-upgrade
GIAC performance software helps you extract the maximum potential from your Carrera GT. Peak power gains were measured at 19 wheel horsepower and 16 wheel torque on pump gas. Gains are as high as 25 wheel horsepower and 20 wheel torque at various areas in the powerband. Greater performance gains will be observed when using race fuel.
https://www.giacusa.com/news_item.php?id=93
GIAC 91/93 octane software is now available for the Porsche Carrera GT!
First release software combined with an exhaust upgrade provides an additional 18 - 21 HP and 15-20 ft-lbs of torque (at the crank shaft) over stock based on 2-wheel dyno results (626HP and 456 ft-lbs). The gains are found throughout the useable power band, 2000 to the new rpm limiter of 8600, and can even be felt at half throttle. Drivability remains as smooth as stock.
An official dyno plot generated from testing is attached. The dyno plot depicts two runs:
GIAC performance software for 91 octane with GMG exhaust, and
baseline stock software and exhaust with 91 octane.
The car tested by Auto did:
0-100 3.57s
0-120 4.33s
0-140 5.13s
0-160 6.46s
0-180 7.59s
0-200 9.25s*
1000m trap speed 283.6 kph
* data published on a reprint
GIAC car did:
That AUTO magazine performance comes from a decatted engine unit or it seems that the car was ecu touched. This GIAC map did similar 100-200 kph about 5.7s (60-130 mph 6.55s) with the car delivering something like 645 HP = 654 PS. That's more than 40 HP more than claimed.
AUTO provided an insane performance with the Carrera GT. Just the fastest Carrera GTs would produce numbers close to claimed figures.

(Disclaimer: just a theory)
Porsche never released the name of the transmission used in this car, but I have a feeling (and even hopes) that it is the same as the one in the Viper, C5Z and pre-'08 C6Z, and even the base C6. Porsche even benchmarked the Viper. It was modified to fit Porsche's specifications. It's not gated like the Ricardo in the GT or the Cima in the Zonda, but rather a reworked Tremec. The Tremecs are able to handle much more torque than the Getrags found inside the 996 and 997 variations of the 911 model.

An in-betweener hypercar? What am I supposed to compare this to? On the lower end: SLR, GT, 360/430/575/612, Gallardo/Murciélago, DB9/Vanquish, Continental GT. On the higher end: Enzo/MC12, Veyron, CC8S/CCR/CCX, S7, SSC Aero.
Basically like a much older and more traditional LFA.

Check out these in-house estimations
0-60 mph: 3.74 sec (post-shift) or 3.21 sec (pre-shift, but sadly not geared in that manner unlike other manual supercars of its day)
0-100 mph: 7.03 sec-> 60-100 = 3.29 sec
Street 1/4-mile: 11.45 sec @ 131.92 mph
Top speed: 206 mph (theoretical maximum velocity: 210 mph)

How I got the lap time estimates
Figure-8: (((((((900/(30/23)x(1800.3x2.20462262))/0.014)/607))/0.625)/1.3)x0.64x0.97)
Nordschleife: ((20600m/(300km/h/((361m)x0.3048m))x(1800.3kg/607hp)/1.3g)x0.0095x0.575
Power Lap: ((3142lb+75kg)/607hp)x((1.75mi)x12)x1.3x0.64/1.15
Last figure denotes half the average static friction of 1 and half the car's maximum lateral acceleration of 1.3 g.
For the simulation run provided, the Carrera GT produces 300 kg of downforce on average.

The Carrera GT is a targa top, not a true convertible. It's actually more like the Koenigsegg CCR or Maserati MC12, which are basically coupes with open roofs. The body style should be changed to coupe.
The CCR was highly focused on breaking top speed records (like the slightly newer Bugatti Veyron, but in a much lighter package), and the MC12 was highly focused on breaking lap-time records. The Carrera GT was not attempting to do either of those.
As a matter of fact, the Porsche Carrera GT's direct rivals were all full-fledged coupes — the Ferrari 575M GTC Handling Package, Ferrari Enzo, Ford GT, Lamborghini Murciélago, Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren, Pagani Zonda C12 S 7.3, and Saleen S7.

at 1.9m every newspaper forgot about 2013 accident and who or how many were involved and continued with the sale transaction, hypocrites are unbelievable, when they want to stir things up they will use every mean to squeeze every last cent in court rooms, it's c'est la vie after all :)
same reason why newer cars are getting more boring with plenty of electronic nannies to deal with, because the bs media made a big fuss about it and wanted to push for extra bs safety features that they don't tell you if you're on drugs/drunk while driving (hostboy) you will end up crashing into a tree and die on the spot.

This car is surprisingly equal to its predecessor, the 911 GT1 in straight-line performance (as far as 0-60- and 0-100-mph times go). But to be fair, the 911 GT1, a purpose-built barely-street-legal race car, isn't really its predecessor. The 959 is.

The Carrera GT's official downforce value is 4000 Newtons at 330 km/h. 4000 Newtons is 408 kilograms of force, adding to the car's 1380kg curb weight (actual: 1788 kg).
