Almost 10 years after the last copy was build, the Carrera GT continues to WOW those who have the opportunity to spot the car. Powered by a 558-horsepower naturally aspirated V-10 engine, the mid-engine Porsche Carrera GT is based on pure racing technology. The design draws on classic Porsche racecars for inspiration, especially the 718 RS Spyder of the early 1960s. Spotter Spyros PETS spotted this amazing car in Nafplio Greece.
The body of the Carrera GT, made mainly from carbon fiber, is super low weight and the perfect recipe for high performance. The V-10 engine displaces 5.5 liters and produces 558 horsepower (410 kW) and 442 lb.-ft. (600 Nm) of peak torque, sufficient to propel the 2,755-lb (1,250 kg) Carrera GT from 0-62 mph (0-100 km/h) in less than four seconds, 0-125 mph (0-200 km/h) in under 10 seconds and to a top track speed of over 205 mph (330 km/h). A dry-sump oil system ensures reliable and consistent oil supply and pressure at high engine speeds and during extreme cornering forces. The ground effect body design literally pulls the car to the road, and the rear wing extends at speeds over 75 mph (120 km/h) to generate stabilizing rear downforce.
