Porsche Carrera GT specs

(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.

Lap Time: 7:14.809

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.

Der Carrera GT ist konsequent auf Groundeffekt und Handling optimiert. Deswegen verliert er im Beschleunigungsvergleich gegen SLR McLaren und Enzo Ferrari im Bereich von 200 - 300 km/h recht deutlich. Dafür hat er die besten Bremsen und gewinnt den Handlingvergleich auf dem Rundkurs mit Bestzeit."

Porsche Gang! FINALLY broke through a barrier and found some verified UK MPH metrics for this sexy production car! But NOT Autocar for a change!

Incredibly impressive! More soon Porsche Gang as we look deeper into the numbers!~ Verified!

Honestly, I regret requesting the Auto.it results be added for the Carrera GT. I should have known better, the car wasn't stock and it'll never do 19.4 to the first 1km... it's always been slower than the Enzo, and honestly it's even slower than the LP640 Murciélago.

I'd like you to meet Sam, he's a little like Mr JWW, i.e. he's a little smooth! Just like me!😂💯

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.

REVISED Estimations For Porsche Carrera GT (yes, better than before- I can promise you that):
0-30 MPH: 1.4 sec
0-40 MPH: 1.8 sec

0-60 MPH: 3.0 sec (100 km/h: 3,1)
0-70 MPH: 3.7 sec

0-180 MPH: 26.8 sec (300 km/h: 31,4)
0-200 MPH: 47.3 sec
Top Speed: 205.5369 mph (330.7795 km/h)

3.0+6.7/(3.0+6.7)x12 = 11.30sec standing quartermile
Acceleration off the line = 9.70209 m/s2 = 0.99 G = 0.25sec 11.5" rollout
11.30-0.25 = 11.05sec dragstrip quartermile.

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.
