Fitted with rear-wheel drive, a
manual gearbox, and no electronic stability control, the 605-hp GT
made most 911s look tame, and it was something that demanded
respect. Porsche was riding off the success of the 986 Boxster and
Cayenne at the time, so the Carrera GT served as a reminder that
Porsche could still build a hardcore driver’s car. And that it
did.
It also made something incredibly beautiful, because
the Carrera GT is one of the sexiest automobiles to ever wear a
Porsche badge. It’s exotic, well-proportioned, and wonderfully
sculpted right down to the rear engine vents and prominent
spoiler, and it’d fit right in on a bedroom poster next to
Ferraris and Lamborghinis. In 2004, the vehicle cost a whopping
$448,000.
