The Porsche Carrera GT is a
supercar manufactured by
Porsche in
Germany. The Carrera GT's development can be traced back to a
Porsche successor to the
911 GT1-98 and LMP1-98
racing cars that had ended after the 1998, partially due to FIA and
ACO rule changes. Porsche at the time had planned on a new
Le Mans prototype for 1999 - more from

1998, Porsche designers came up with the idea of creating a
high-performance racecar designed specifically for the
24 Hours of Le Mans, which a Porsche had won that year - more from

most refined, most planed away, most astonishing engine I have ever
encountered is currently to be found sitting in the middle of Porsche’s
new Carrera GT. " -

"...As
the Carrera GT hit the grass and began to accelerate towards the tyre
wall, it occurred to me that this could hurt." -
