The past year has seen a tremendous surge in the classic car market, with numerous records being broken. This includes the highest-value car events and a flood of vintage cars hitting the market at unprecedented prices.
An excellent example of this is the 2005 Porsche Carrera GT, which recently sold for a remarkable $2 million to a new owner. This price tag is four times its original value and puts it on par with other popular supercars available today.
What’s truly remarkable is that just last December, the Porsche Carrera GT set a previous record of $1.902 million. This goes to show the timeless appeal of this iconic German sports car.
Despite being 17 years old, the Porsche Carrera GT has maintained its originality, with 100% of its components intact. It features a powerful 603-horsepower V10 engine designed for racing, a 6-speed manual transmission, and an advanced F1-style suspension system.
One of the most striking aspects of this car is its incredibly low mileage. With only 20 km on the odometer since its delivery, it’s evident that this vehicle has been meticulously maintained and is in pristine condition.
In addition to its exceptional condition, the Porsche Carrera GT comes with all its original accessories. This includes both the main and spare keys, original branded bags, and complete vehicle documentation, all of which have been carefully preserved since 2005. The auction organizers have verified that the car and its accompanying equipment are in like-new quality.
To put the $2 million price tag into perspective, one could purchase other top-of-the-line supercars such as the Lamborghini Centenario, Koenigsegg Regera, Koenigsegg One:1, or the latest Lotus Evija.
