Porsche Carrera GT

Porsche Carrera GT is a race-bred sports car that has set new benchmarks in road engineering. Carrera GT has used technologies that provide genuine race performance with exemplary dynamics to ensure smooth ride in virtually all road scenarios.

Porsche Carrera GT employs race-derived chassis construction techniques and high-tech materials to help minimise weight. The Porsche Ceramic Composite Brake (PCCB) uses high-tech wearing parts and six-piston calipers to achieve breathtaking deceleration and endless fade resistance under even the most demanding track conditions.
