This 2005 Porsche Carrera GT is one of 1,270 examples built during a four-year production run and was originally delivered to Stevinson Imports of Littleton, Colorado. It later spent time in Arizona before it was acquired by the current owner in 2021. The car is finished in Guards Red over black leather upholstery, and power comes from a 5.7-liter V10 mated to a six-speed manual transaxle with a limited-slip differential. Features include staggered-width forged magnesium wheels, a ceramic-composite clutch and brake rotors, an electronically actuated rear spoiler, and removable roof panels. A June 2021 service reportedly included the installation of new tires, a brake fluid flush, and an oil change. This Type 980 has under 800 miles and is now offered in Scottsdale, Arizona, by the seller on behalf of the current owner with factory books, a fitted luggage set, keys, a clean Carfax report, and a clean Montana title.
The Carrera GT concept car first appeared at the 2000 Paris Motor Show as an offshoot of the late-1990s LMP2000 development prototype that never came to fruition. The model entered production in 2003 with construction incorporating a carbon-fiber-reinforced plastic monocoque and subframe built by ATR Group in Italy.
The carbon-fiber body panels on this example are finished in Guards Red with matching removable roof panels. Aerodynamic elements include an undertray, a rear diffuser, and an electronically actuated rear spoiler that can also be deployed manually.
