Porsche Carrera GT specs

@mods please add

Top Gear Track: 1:22.8
Driver: Ben Collins
Tyres: Michelin Pilot Super Sport

12.1 seconds for being 23 years old is genuinely impressive.

Factory Re-Commission

i wonder why bc didn't choose the lfailed? :)

clarkson chose the lfailed as his favorite car, because the above video shows you how quickly he shits his pants in the cgt when the rear end gets loose lol

The definitive analog supercar of the 2000s, thing here is that in order to extract proper performance out of this model you had to tame it and it was a very unforgiving car but rewarding if you learn to tame it, but still driving it at it's limit ( try to tame it )was much more precise than many of it's time. Timeless design too, beautiful symphony as an engine sound

I refuse to believe that corvette fanboys are thinking human beings, bruh

@FastestLaps please change main pic to this

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?

As I suspected, a lot of time left on the table because of the suspension not capable of dealing with those g forces and speeds.

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.

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.

(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.
