Legendary Cars - Porsche Carrera GT - Auto Sportive

I do not deny, this is a golden age for hypercar... They have incredible performance, but at the same time anyone can ride them. However, in the early XNUMXs, special fearsome cars were released that immediately became classics; cars that today, with hybrid engines and ultra-fast sequential transmissions, seem to belong to another planet. Cars like Porsche Carrera GTHis look it is truly unique and undeniably aged like fine wine: it is unlike any other supercar, with those taillights dotted with tiny LEDs, a honeycomb engine cover and those straight, taut sides that end in the headlights. Live is even more beautiful, with its exotic proportions and that oddly shaped twin rear exhaust that seems to be about to make a hell of a noise. And this.

THE SOUND OF LE-MAN

Un naturally aspirated V10 engine removed from a racing car and mounted on a road car - this is enough to Porsche Carrera GT special car.

Il 5,7 liter 10 cylinders it was actually intended for a car LMP1 which was supposed to race in the top category at Le Mans, but Porsche has abandoned the (expensive) SUV project in collaboration with Volkswagen: Cayenne pepper.

So this heart was implanted in the Carrera GT. It was - and still is - a solid and clean car, but also very refined and well-groomed in the interior. Unlike its direct competitors, the GT has Manual Transmission, and the lever is a work of art, decorated balsa wood handle. Porsche considered a manual transmission to be more appropriate than the "slow" Tiptronic of the day or the dual clutch used only in competition.

Traction, of course, back. The carbon fiber chassis and bodywork contribute to a lighter and lighter weight of just 1350 kg.

Like the Ferrari F50, Porsche Carrera GT only exists as a roadster with the hard top.

In 2003, when it went into production, it was a direct competitor to the Ferrari Enzo, equipped with a 12 hp V650 engine. Although the Porsche Carrera GT had "only" 612 hp, it was faster on several tracks than the Reds. The figures announced by the House of Representatives are still impressive: 0-100 km / h in 3,9 seconds, 0-200 km / h in 9,9 seconds and The maximum speed is 330 km / h.

"A harsh metallic sound that turns into a high-pitched squeal when reaching 8.000 rpm."

CLEAN BLOOD THAT BLOCKS

La Porsche Carrera GT this car is not easy to drive even at a speed of 10 km / h.

La Clutch made of carbon-ceramic material PCCB makes it difficult to start the engine and V10 almost no inertia it certainly doesn't help. Such maneuvering becomes stressful, turning off the car at a traffic light is inconvenient. Even when shifting, the motor tends to drop at lightning speed, so time becomes an important element. But when things start to work, when you pick up the pace and find out its timing, Carrera GT becomes a wonderful car. Thrust V10 5,7 liters at 612 liters. C. is 590 Nm and second only to his barking. This is a harsh metallic sound that, when touched, turns into a high-pitched squeal. 8.000 rpm It's goosebumps. To drive it powerfully, you need safety and cleanliness, and to push it to its limits, you need to be truly experienced drivers, but it remains one of the nicest cars to drive. A real legendary car.
