The distinctive design of the Carrera GT presents race engineering in an elegant package that is uniquely and unmistakably Porsche.
With its imposing exterior and dominant rear wing, the car is instantly recognizable from every angle and a powerful presence on the road. At the front, the headlights pay sweeping homage to the legendary Porsche 917 – our first outright winner at Le Mans. Other distinctive features include the aerodynamically sculpted exterior mirrors and LED indicator modules.
Together, these elements combine past and present in a whole new application of Porsche design.
Among the more familiar Porsche features are the generous front inlets, the flowing wing contours, and the very assertive angle of the nose.
The flanks are dominated by the prominent air outlets ahead of each door and the engine intakes to the rear. This elegant solution provides an adequate flow of air to the radiators in the nose, ensuring optimum cooling in all operating conditions.
At the rear of the car, the integrated wing is combined with an underbody diffuser featuring vertical fins. The resulting tail section generates ground-effects downforce with only minimal additional drag.
As you can see, the Carrera GT delivers form dictated by function. When that function is pure and rigorously pursued, the form is inevitably refined.
