The Exotics(Part 2): PORSCHE CARRERA GT
The "most successful supercar in history" has ended production at 1,270 odd units during a one and a half year span.
In its brief production run, and befitting its ethereal performance, the award-winning Carrera GT was named “Best Dream Car 2004” by Road & Track magazine, and “Best Dream Machine” by the popular MotorWeek television program in 2005. “Even a short ride in this carbon-fiber wonder-car will spoil you for the rest of your life,” said MotorWeek host John Davis. “The Carrera GT is the best motivation to get rich that we’ve ever driven.”
Specifications:
Type: V10
Displacement: 5.7 Litres
Power (bhp): 605 @ 8,000rpm
Acceleration 0 - 100km/h: 3.9s
Top Speed: 330km/h
Hmmmmm...possibly worth giving up a kidney for one of these!!!

Whatta you think of the 50s Speedster? Saw one today and my boyfriend found his 'new love', haha. He's got a 66 912 that's being revamped, but now has his heart set on a 50s duplicate. Do any other porsches have modern remakes?

Is this the Speedster he saw?
If so, I reckon it's a damn beautiful car too!! It looks really classic whereas your boyfriend's 912 looks sportier but at the end of the day, I don't think he could go wrong with either!
As for any modern day remakes from Porsche, I'm not aware there are any unless you include the 911, which has evolved and evolved over the years. The current 997 version of the 911 reverts back to the old oval headlights that were last seen on the 993.
Thanks for your comments.

Not sure about the remakes, I'm not really with the old porsche lowdown (all I know is there are some really hot models that I could definitely spare a kidney for!)
Love your blog - you really have a passion for these little beauties.
(If you ever have any dating/relationship or any queries of the like give be a bell!

Thanks for your lovely comments!!
I don't intend on having dating/relationship problems anytime soon, but you never know, the missus could just chuck a tantrum for no reason (as is usually the case
See you over there! Meanwhile, if you want to post a pic or two of your bf's 912, please feel free to do so and share with all of us car enthusiasts!
