Porsche occupies a rare position of almost universal respect, so whenthe world's highest volume supercar maker produces what
it regards asthe pinnacle of its art, you have to sit up and take notice. Especiallyas it's so utterly different from any other Porsche ever.The figures speak for themselves: 612bhp, 205mph, 0-60mph in3.9
seconds and 0-100 in 6.9 seconds. Yet there is so much more in theCarrera GT package. The flexibility of the centrally mounted 5.5-litreV10 engine. The magical finish of the
carbon-fibre chassis/body. Theunbelievable stopping power of the ceramic brakes. The sublime handlingfrom race-style pushrod suspension.The one way in which the GT is like other Porsches is thatit's been designed to be usable every day, with durability in mind.Build quality is superlative, from the delicacy of the carbon-fibreweave to details like ultra-light Kevlar door handles. The ceramicclutch and brakes should last well, too.Only 1,500 cars are scheduled to be built, so used examples will command a premium for some time.
