Cars are meant to be driven and enjoyed. If you’re fortunate enough to buy the delightfully insane Porsche Carrera GT—the very car known for frightening racing legend Walter Röhrl and whose V10 evolved from a stillborn Le Mans racer—you must not let it gather dust in some collection. Go drive it.
There are great moments in automotive journalism, and there is this. The two most enjoyable days in Evo's history, and an ode to the best driver's cars in the world.
The pureblood Porsche isn't in the top rung of supercars anymore, but do you still dream about the Carrera GT? This morning, would you drive one?
Another Carrera GT, another four-year service interval. This NĂĽrburgring denizen had logged over 13,000 miles when its owner decided to combine the typical engine-out job with full paint-correction detail. A full photographic record lets us follow along [Rennlist].
The modern high-performance car is an amazing beast, a fast, comfortable way to cover great distances at high speed. Most of them are also remarkably safe — these accidents, courtesy of Wrecked Exotics, left their drivers all but unharmed.
Supercars continue to get faster and more exotic, but there's little evidence to suggest their drivers are getting any better at driving. We've been keeping score. Here's the 30 most expensive cars that crashed in 2009 (that we covered).
If there’s one photographer whose pictures of cars approach the lofty heights of art, it’s Richard Morris.
The bill for the four-year service on a Porsche Carrera GT comes in at about $8,000. What do you get for the money?
This Porsche Carrera GT caught fire at a track day at the Shanghai International Circuit, burning to a crisp shell before marshals were able to extinguish the blaze. Strangely poetic accident report below.
Porsche's first foray into production V10 power lies just behind the driver in the Carrera GT super car. Let's take a look inside Bruce and see what makes his 605 HP, 5.7-liter DOHC V10 tick.
Is the Porsche Carrera GT the new Enzo? No, not performance, rather in the desire of owners to crack 'em up 'round curves. Exhibit A: Autogespot's shots of a Carrera GT crashed in Marbella, Spain.
We wouldn't blame you for mistaking this parking deck for a Sheiklet's playground in Abu Dhabi. This deck in Hong Kong holds some of the world's most exclusive iron aluminum, including a Porsche Carrera GT, a few Lamborghinis and a Ferrari Enzo. It seems as if China is doing a better job of Saving the Enzos than we…
This Toyota MR2 dressed to look like a Porsche Carrera GT isn't going to trick anybody. It may have Porsche badges glued on, but they're not enough to distract you from the sickening proportions and ridiculous build quality. We haven't seen a supercar kit this bad since the Fierrari Enzo. The Porsche costume is…
This one comes to us from the offices of intrepid commenter Drachen, who chatted up the driver of this flatbed after seeing its cargo — the remains of a Porsche Carrera GT in an Atlanta-area parking lot. According to the driver, he'd just pulled an all-nighter driving from Miami to Atlanta to deliver the car to the…
Yes, perhaps the old adage of "like father, like son" is actually true. We all know how much Lewis Hamilton loves the Porsches, right? We also know how much he loves diving head first into the walls too. Enter Anthony Hamilton, his father and manager. He was just out having some fun with his wife in a loaned silver …
Sometimes we wish we were Jocke "Qvarnis" Qvarnström. Usually it's just for having a name with a Q and a V in it. This time it's for getting a crack at the 672 hp V10 Gemballa Mirage GT. His exploits made for an umlaut-heavy piece in Swedish mag StreetXtreme, but the video is up on the 'Tube for all to survey. We're…
For once on the Gumball, I woke up in a bed. After a long day's journey into night and Athens, Herr Roy decided he wanted to be as close as possible to the M5 and booked a block of rooms at the Sofitel in Athens, rather than taking his room at the Hilton. A French cameraman was booked into the M5 for the day, riding…
Say what you will about, "Redline," Daniel Sadek's vehicle for his vehicles and for his former fiancee, Nadia Bjorlin, but it sure created a helluva market for carbon fiber replacement parts. Notwithstanding the Ferrari Enzo ended by actor Eddir Griffin, two of Sadek's Porsche Carrera GTs were damaged during filming,…
Des of GTSpirit was out for a leisurely drive on the N rburgring earlier today with a friend in a Gallardo when they came 'round a bend and noticed this Porsche Carrera GT off the track. While the bodywork emerged largely unscathed, note the rather excessive negative camber of the supercar's rear wheels. Touch it,…
What makes some exotics tuneable, and others off limits? Though the Carrera GT is now just another discontinued hypersports car, like the Ferrari Enzo and Ford GT, those of means treat it like an amusement park. Unlike the Enzo, there's no shame in tweaking out a $400,000 Carrera GT to within an inch of its existence…
