These are really, really growing on me. It would be a tough choice between this and a 722 though.
Not if you drove them;)

My old car. I have owned it twice, the first time I bought it I wanted the best available,
Regretted selling it both times !!

It's a lovely lovely car.


  • btw famous ex footballer was the owner inbetween my stints with her, he paid £370k !!!ish I think for it and did 100 miles in it !!! That was an expensive 100miles for him but cheapened up my ownership.
Enjoy
It really is great, it's hardly been used especially relative to the numbers of owner's it's had. Had a great drive down to Goodwood today with the roof out, the noise from it is epic. It attracted alot of attention from enthusiasts down there, you just don't see them that often. Having said that when I was at Reading Porsche recently I counted no less than 13 of them in the warehouse! I was dead set on a black car for a longtime however a friend persuaded me into the silver, it does show off the lines of the car very well, especially the concave door panels.

Congratulations! Looks stunning. I was walking next to a CGT this morning at the Goodwood Breakfast Club as it came in. May possibly have been you? I almost shouted 'rev it!' hehe

Respect, and thanks.

I was with Mr Hawkins yesterday asking why there are so many for sale, apparently not moving, when they are an engineering tour de force.

Maybe I have just stuffed my chance of buying one for what I can afford, but --- thank-you for sharing this smile

I want a Fiance Yellow one !!

Given a large amount of cash, I'd have one of these over an enzo.

My friends think this makes me wierd.
You have weird friends..

I saw a Carrera GT at Goodwood, the guy driving looked like a young Tom Cruise, was that you?

Stunning machine, your comments are a true insight into everyday living (if there is such a thing) with one of these iconic pieces of automotive heaven. Enjoy every moment that you have with it...

Regarding the colour, I think that silver, black or yellow, they all suit this beautiful design and I would just take any colour to get into one, but sadly, that is highly unlikely!

Enjoy driving

Wonderful wonderful car. Design hasn't dated a day IMO (unlike Enzo) and the total focus required from the driver, make it the most involving modern supercar of the lot. You never switch off driving one. Ever. Fabulous.

Congratulations. And take it easy on cold tyres!

Fabulous car. I drove behind a red Carrera GT on the Autobahn between Munich and Salzburg recently. The thing sounds like a jet fighter when pushed a bit.
