Just saw a Carrera GT pull into the BP station near me (A6 bypass one) - and there the most shexual car ive ever seen  They look alot better in the flesh, especially with the huge yellow calipers. Although it was lefty, so it must be a bit of a git when overtaking etc But still, lovely cars
btw, anyone got any specs on them? he was standing there a long time filling it up, so i take it they drink fuel like a fat bastard to burgers?

good pics ash
some 50/60 yr old was driving it (see him in piccy) has a GBL shirt on, anyone know what that could be for? I though he might have been part of some racing team etc
Would have loved to hear the car start and drive off though, but he was still filling it by the time i got back to car

hahaha aye, but there was a huge queue building up behind me - although everyone on the whole forecourt was staring at this blokes car.
Although i wouldnt like to fill that up though - considering he was there before i got to the station and was still filling it up as i was walking out
drew - nice piccy mate

The Carrera GT is a totally new development based on Porsche racing design. As such, it carries all the familiar hallmarks of Porsche motorsport and our relentless passion for performance.
One of the most uncompromising vehicles ever created for the road, this latest generation of Porsche offers breathtaking performance in every respect. From a standing start, it reaches 124 mph (200 km/h) in just 9.9 seconds en route to a top track speed of more than 186 mph (300 km/h).
To achieve that performance, we've applied a powerful V10 engine - developing 605 hp (SAE) - to an unladen weight of just 3,042 lbs (1,380 kg).
Every last component in each area of the car has been custom-engineered for optimum performance. The result is a masterpiece of lightweight construction with an exceptional power-to-weight ratio. The main chassis structure is made from aerospace-grade composites, including carbon-fibre sandwich construction with a high-strength honeycomb core. These state-of-the-art materials combine major weight savings with intense structural rigidity to achieve exceptional performance and handling characteristics with exemplary safety reserves.
At the heart of the car, the mid-mounted V10 is mounted deep in the chassis to create an extremely low centre of gravity. With less susceptibility to lateral g-forces, the car remains flat, consistent and inherently balanced through even the fastest racing bends.
By placing the engine and aluminium fuel tank directly behind the cockpit, it was possible to achieve a more even distribution of vehicle weight - one of the essential prerequisites for the car's superior dynamics.
With such a total commitment to racing performance, there was only ever one layout option: an open-top two-seater with two-piece detachable hardtop.
Surrounded by so much power and agility, this classic configuration places you and your passenger at the heart of a truly exhilarating drive.
