Now sadly out of production the Porsche Carrera GT was a limited run supercar based around an engine designed to win Le Mans. The performance of the mid-engined, two-seater Porsche reflected this as did the equipment underneath the sleek carbon-fibre body. Ceramic composite clutch and brakes kept the power of the high-revving V10 engine under control. Inside the Carrera GT, the cockpit is characterised by functionality with the extensive use of high-tech materials with composite components in their natural state. Handling and performance are as you would expect from a Porsche supercar.
