EXTERIOR
An era defining analogue Hypercar – the Carrera GT’s low-slung body represents a design triumph that optimises airflow with large ducts in the front bumper and enormous mid mounted intakes that tie beautifully into the door line. Basalt black provides a generous metallic flake throughout that comes alive in natural light; a luxurious lustre that lifts the dynamic profile to new heights. Prepared and protected with Full PPF the car is in exemplary condition.
At the business end LED tail lights, serrated twin exhausts and a large diffuser combine to provide both substance and style. A standout design element features an engine cover with perforated stainless steel panels serving as huge air vents dispersing the heat created by the car’s potent powerplant.
INTERIOR
All wrapped in high-quality Terracotta leather and with galvanized magnesium panels on the centre console, the dashboard and Y-shaped inserts on the door cards this cockpit oozes luxury. The condition of this focused cabin space is first class with the model specific Recaro kevlar seats retaining excellent colour and contour whilst wheel and 917-derived gear knob show little to no wear. The gear position is almost sequential – like in it’s proximity to the wheel ensuring a snag up or down the ‘box is just moments away.
The exposed carbon weave on the centre tunnel, door sills and door cards truly represents the DNA of the car – a lightweight blueprint built with the best materials available.
ENGINE & TRANSMISSION
Porsche withdrew from its role as a Formula 1 engine supplier with the Footwork team while a brand new V10 was under development. The engine was adapted and developed further for a Le Mans prototype only to find that project was cancelled too! Trying to find a good use for the orphaned 10 cylinder, executives decided it would be perfect for a forthcoming flagship supercar – the CGT was born.
Thankfully, a manual gearbox was selected to harness the enormous power and torque providing a whole new level of engagement and excitement.
As modern tech has developed demand for a lift system on these cars has too (n/ a from new) with this example sporting an offering from KW suspension with corresponding lift kit to enhance and assist the driving experience day-to-day. The original suspension is also available.
Like Supercars of yesteryear, the feel for certain mechanical nuance takes time and respect; there is nothing as rewarding as a CGT when you find that rhythm.
WHEELS, TYRES & BRAKES
Wheel design is always key to Supercar form and function and these lightweight Centrelock 5 spoke alloys look easily at home on the road or track. 19 inch at the front and 20 inch at the rear, all wheels remain spotless as do the anodised wheel hub nuts, blue on the right, red on the left side distinguishing thread direction.
Porsche brakes are the reference in almost every sports car test and for a production car the performance of the CGT is simply astonishing. Having first launched on the 996 Turbo the evolution of PCCB reached new heights in terms of feel and durability with this Halo model.
HISTORY FILE
First supplied by Porsche Leipzig in May of 2015, this stunning CGT would first find a pampered home in Monaco.
Despite only covering 2, 500 miles during it’s time on the French Riviera, the car would be serviced 5 times by the official Porsche dealer Groupe Segond and Beausoleil.
Having arrived in the UK in 2018 the car would go straight to OPC Reading for a full appraisal and has subsequently returned back to the Group Operations Centre a further 3 times.
The service book lists 9 stamps all from main dealers with the last service in November ’22 by OPC Reading where it had a Brake fluid change, KW suspension and corresponding lift kit installed as well as clutch measurements which come back at 30. 25mm (75% remaining).
The Luggage set is present and included consisting of; a Garment bag for your clothing, Documentation folder, a perfectly sized overnight bag for your traveling needs, shoulder strap bag and a small stowaway bag that slots right under the centre console as well as the two small door pocket bags.
Low mileage, well maintained CGT’s are a rare thing especially allied with this exceptional colour combination – this is a very special car.
