Porsche Carrera GT production ends today

Production of the legendary $440,000 Porsche Carrera GT ended today (Saturday, May 6) at the Porsche plant Leipzig, Germany.



Production began September 28, 2000. A total of 1,270 units were built — 27 percent higher than the planned 1,000 units.



A reported 53 percent of the cars went to the United States, 12 percent to Germany, and 7 percent to the United Arab Emirates.



Porsche has not announced any plans for a follow-up to the 612 horsepower supercar

Damn I was just about to post a similar thread, like 5 minutes later. Anyway a historic day indeed.

- Edit -

We could do something like hommage-thread with the best/coolest pix and stuff. Just a thought?

REALLY like this idea! We should defently do something like this! And everytime someone see's a Carrera GT, they could add some pictures to the thread, and make a huge Carrera GT picture thread!

1,270 is a huge number, WAY to many were produced.... But hey i cant complain, it makes it easier for me to find one to buy in the future

Felix throw up your awesome fayence shots!

Interestingly the 'Autovisie' pictures are from an article wich was meant like a hommage to Porsche and the Targa Florio, they went to Sicily and drove the original route.

I feel compelled to share some of my CGT pics ... nowhere near as good as the Autovisie ones, though.
