About the Porsche Carrera GT
Promoted as Porsche's next generation flagship super sports car, the Carrera GT was officially unleashed onto the international motoring market in 2003, with Porsche planning to build just 1,500 models over the next three years at its factory in Leipzig, Germany.
Packed with racing-spec technology, the Carrera GT features an ultra-lightweight and durable carbon fiber monocoque frame. Combined with the all-new 5.7 liter V10 cylinder engine, the Carrera is capable of a staggering top speed of over 330km/h, with acceleration from 0-100km/h in less than 3.9 seconds.
The Carrera GT marks a departure from Porsche's traditional horizontally placed boxer engine, laying the foundations for an exciting new era in the amazing history of one of the world's top sports car makers.
Tamiya offers a second super luxury model in the spirit of our hugely successful 1/12 Enzo Ferrari. This is the Carrera GT, Porsches answer to the Enzo and a truly elite super sportscar. High quality replica painstakingly reproduces every detail of the full-size car, while semiassembled style means even non-modelers will have no difficulty putting it together. Be the first one on your block to own a Porsche Carrera GT!
