RE: 'New' Porsche Carrera GT: Spotted
Discussion
As good as these and the SLR's were back then, IIRC, they're all LHD.
Part of me thinks if I have squillions to spend I'd stick a finger up to anyone refusing to make a RHD car for one of their biggest markets.
As for 2nd hand - I'd rather not spend every drive sat behind a bus with no idea what's going on.

It always annoys me too, especially with something like a P1 which is supposed to be British product. At least Aston made the effort to provide RHD One77's even if I don't particularly like it.Part of me thinks if I have squillions to spend I'd stick a finger up to anyone refusing to make a RHD car for one of their biggest markets.

I also think though that if I was fortunate enough to have the money to buy hyper cars that I'd almost certainly have a second home somewhere warmer abroad anyway so the lack of RHD would possibly become irrelevant.
It's amazing how the CGT can go from looking so right to looking a bit odd simply by the introduction of the roof panels. It's still a good shape though but after a longer period of exposure I'm now preferring the 918, I didn't when it was first shown.

Hardly...Porsche sold 225,000 cars worldwide in 2015 (more than 150k of them were Macans and Cayennes)
The single biggest market was... China. 58k. US second, 52k. The European total was 76,000, with Germany the biggest individual, 29k. The UK? Only 12,167 cars - about 5% of the global total.

I think it contributes to massive premiums on other 'special' ltd edition cars which were availible in RHD like the 599 GTO etc
For me I would be taking a trip to Romans with my £1m and taking this lovely Black one off their hands:
