The Porsche Carrera GT (Project Code 980) is a mid-engined sports car that was manufactured by Porsche in Leipzig[3], Germany.
The Carrera GT is powered by a 5.7 litre V10 engineproducing 612 DIN (605 SAE) horsepower (450 kW),[5]whereas the original concept car featured a 5.5 litre version rated at 558 hp (416 kW). Porsche claims it will accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h (62.1 mph) in 3.9 seconds and has a maximum speed of 330 km/h (205 mph)[3], although road tests indicated that in reality the car can accelerate from 0-60 mph (97 km/h) in 3.5 seconds[5] and 0-100 mph (160 km/h) in 6.8[5]seconds, while 0-125 mph (201 km/h) in 9.9 seconds[citation needed].
The Carrera GT has a basic five colour paint scheme which includes Guards Red, Fayence Yellow, Basalt Black, GT Silver and Seal Grey. 
Custom colours were also available from the factory. A traditional six-speed manual transmission is the only available transmission.
Attached to this gearbox is a beechwood gearknob which pays homage to the wooden gearknob used in the Porsche 917 Le Mans racers. In its second year of production, a limited edition carbon fibre knob was also made available.
