Carrera GT for £550k
Discussion
This is a car in real danger of never being driven. Shame, but it'd be nice to own a 2014 GT.

The plate on the car is 1066 though rather than 1185? No chance of anyone other than a collector buying this one at that mileage surely.
Are you 100% sure of the 1066 ?If yes I will let the registry know 'cos he has it as 1185, has to be the same car Moonbeam silver and red leather all bespoke...BTW he doesn't have 1066 on his register

I just zoomed onto one of the interior pics on the lovett's website where the plate was stated.. Unless my eyes are seriously out I think 1066 looks like what it is!If yes I will let the registry know 'cos he has it as 1185, has to be the same car Moonbeam silver and red leather all bespoke...BTW he doesn't have 1066 on his register

Some good points in there...someone said I think in the 4.0RS thread that people were selling RS's to buy CGT's which makes a lot of sense based on what you said. I think Sharwerks or the like charge $60 or $70k to turn an RS into something that would trouble a 4.0RS. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k7DjqGUKiao&li...
Not sure a CGT is the ultimate analogue car of all time thought, that is a hell of a claim! F40 and F1 both spring to mind!

I agree that the CGT is against some tough competition as the ultimate analogue supercar. To the F40 and F1, I'd add the Zonda as well, and also the F50. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k7DjqGUKiao&li...

I think what the CGT has going for it is the purity of its design and engineering - race bred engine, inboard, rose jointed suspension, ultra low centre of gravity courtesy of the much (and unfairly) maligned clutch. It also has some decent aero (completely flat under tray; even the rear suspension wishbones are aerodynamically shaped!). When reading the workshop technical manual on the car, you are struck but just how exceptionally well engineered the car is.
It all adds up to a no compromise driving experience that it, with some effort from the driver, is little short of sensational.
I can't say its better than the others (I've only driven an F1, briefly a couple of times) - they each have their unique qualities (with the F1, it is surely THAT engine) - but the CGT is surely in good company with them all. One day the market will recognise that in terms of values - but for now it means the CGT is probably the ultimate value analogue supercar!

It suffers in that company, in my view, from being a very ugly car.I think what the CGT has going for it is the purity of its design and engineering - race bred engine, inboard, rose jointed suspension, ultra low centre of gravity courtesy of the much (and unfairly) maligned clutch.

I've tried to like the way that it looks, coz I am a real Porsche fan, but it is hideous from the side. You cant deny that, surely? Fine from the front and back but it looks so wrong from the side - like two or three parts of different cars stuck together.
Oh aye - utterly hideous...
Proves how subjective looks are, I guess. My eye runs from front to back and I am thinking "gorgeous" until the roof line drops off and it becomes a never-ending expanse of metal until you get to the next roofline element, the wing. The wheel arch line is, to my eyes, also very hard to like.

Just in case you are adding it to the registry, zooming in a bit more reveals it to be 1065.If yes I will let the registry know 'cos he has it as 1185, has to be the same car Moonbeam silver and red leather all bespoke...BTW he doesn't have 1066 on his register
