CARRERA GT

COOL CARS-The Porsche Carrera GT is a totally new development based on Porsche racing design. As such ,this extreme exotic car. Carries all the familiar hallmarks of Porsche motorsport and our relentless passion for performance. One of the most uncompromising vehicles ever created for the road, this latest generation of Porsche offers breathtaking performance in every respect. From a standing start, it reaches 124 mph in just 9.9 seconds en route to a top track speed of 205 mph. To achieve that performance, they applied a powerful V-10 engine developing 605 horpower to an unladen weight of just 3,042 lbs. Every last component in each area of the car has been custom-engineered for optimum performance. The result is a masterpiece of lightweight construction with an exceptional power to weight ratio. Makes for one very fast car. The main chassis structure is made from aerospace grade composites, including carbon-fiber sandwich construction with a high-strength honeycomb core. These state of the art materials combine major weight savings with intense structural rigidity to achieve exceptional performance and handling characteristics with exemplary safety reserves. At the heart of the car, the mid-mounted V-10 is mounted deep in the chassis to create an extremely low center of gravity. With less susceptibility to lateral G-forces, the car remains flat, consistent and inherently balanced through even the fastest racing bends. By placing the engine and aluminium fuel tank directly behind the cockpit, it was possible to achieve a more even distribution of vehicle weight one of the essential prerequisites for the car's superior dynamics. With such a total heritage in racing performance, there was only ever one layout option: an open-top two-seater with two-piece detachable hardtop. Surrounded by so much power and agility, this classic configuration places you and your passenger at the heart of a truly exhilarating drive. courtesy of Porsche Cars North America Check out other PORSCHE'S on Cool Car Images Gemballa GTR 650 ,Porsche GT3 ,Gemballa Mirage GT ,Ruf Porsche RT12 ,Rinspeed Gullwing 911 ,Porsche 911 Turbo
