Yahoo Autos Every Detail That Makes the Porsche Carrera GT So Incredible
Compared to supercars today, the spec sheet for the Porsche Carrera GT's isn't exactly impressive. It only made 612 horsepower and required a full 3.5 seconds to hit 60 mph. That's less horsepower than a Hellcat and slower acceleration than a Chevrolet Corvette Z06, both of which cost under $100,000. Compared to modern cars like the Ferrari LaFerrari and the McLaren P1, it doesn't even come close.
But just because other cars have it beat on paper doesn't mean they're better than the Carrera GT. Far from it. After all, it's powered by one of the best-sounding naturally aspirated V10s ever put into a production car. And it's got a glorious manual transmission. And it was born from an aborted Le Mans race car. And even more than a decade later, it's still absolutely gorgeous.
There's a lot more to the Carrera GT, too. But we'll let our friend Doug DeMuro explain the rest since he recently got a chance to drive one. When he's done, you may agree with him that the best supercar ever made is the Porsche Carrera GT.
