The Gumball 3000 global supercar rally is set to make its 25th journey, and this time it’s coming to Vietnam. While the initial plan was to have 120 cars joining the rally, the final count is over 80, including some stunning machines that were initially intended to stay in their respective countries. One such car is the Porsche Carrera GT, and the latest update will delight car enthusiasts in Vietnam.
A Thai billionaire has confirmed that they will be bringing their Porsche Carrera GT to the event in Vietnam, which comes as a pleasant surprise. Earlier reports suggested that the car would remain in Thailand, but its inclusion will undoubtedly add excitement to the already impressive lineup of vehicles for Gumball 3000 2024.
The Thai billionaire’s million-dollar Porsche Carrera GT has already arrived in Vietnam and will make its appearance this weekend alongside dozens of other supercars. The car sports a sleek black exterior with striking orange accents, and it is one of the few Porsche Carrera GTs in the region.
With the number 85 on its body, this Porsche Carrera GT is one of only 1,270 units produced globally. Like its younger sibling, the Porsche 918 Spyder, it features a manually removable hardtop. When it debuted in 2004, the supercar had a factory price of approximately $450,000, but its value has since tripled.
The Porsche Carrera GT was produced for only two years and earned the title of “Best Dream Machine” by MotorWeek TV in 2005. It is powered by a 5.7-liter V10 engine that delivers 605 horsepower at 8,000 rpm, enabling it to sprint from 0 to 60 mph in just 3.9 seconds.
