market Black Leather interior Recent Major engine-out Service Early in the morning of 28 September 2000, before sunrise, Porsche presented the Carrera GT concept car to the world's press in Paris.
Behind the wheel, two-time rally world champion Walter R?hrl navigated the V10 mid-engined car around the Place Charles-de-Gaulle, with the Arc de Triomphe rising majestically at its centre.
As the rain fell, R?hrl had the job of transferring the engine's sheer power as cleanly as possible from the rear axle to the square's wet and slippery cobbles in front of the international media.
The photos of R?hrl in the open-top Carrera GT en route from the Arc de Triomphe to the Louvre, escorted by French motorcycle police, caused a sensation among car fans around the world.
The concept was never intended for production but Porsche already had a V-10 engine on hand.
One of the best engines ever fitted to a production car, the V-10 was originally developed in the early 1990s for Formula One, and when that didn't happen the engine was further developed for the Le Mans program.
Eventually it would end up in the Carrera GT, where it displaced 5.
7 liters and delivered 603 horsepower and 435 pound-feet of torque.
With the Carrera GT weighing just 3,042 pounds thanks to its lightweight carbon-fiber monocoque and a host of other weight-saving mods.
There is nothing like it - Bruce Canepa, as he describes the incredible sound that the V10 engine makes, combined with its manual transmission, delivering one of the most unique experiences of a driving an analog super car.
Once the green light was given, the first production Carrera GT's rolled off the assembly line at the then-new plant in Leipzig, Germany, in 2003.
Production would run for 2 years, during which time Porsche built 1,270 examples.
A visit to Canepa's facility in Scotts Valley (Northern California), affords the unique opportunity to view in person, both the original Carrera GT Concept Car #001, piloted by Walter R?hrl at the cars unveiling in September 2000, and this incredible red on black production example, side-by-side.
Delivered new on December 21, 2004 at White Allen Porsche of Dayton, Ohio, this Guards Red example ordered with the Black Leather interior option.
It was optioned with Carrera GT Bucket leather seats, and leather dashboard and door panels.
Religiously maintained on an annual basis by the original selling dealer, its original owner accumulated a total of 5,300 miles on the odometer.
Over the next 4 years, the owner kept the Carrera GT in show worthy condition.
