The story

Porsche Carrera GT

Porsche developed a V10 for a planned Le Mans prototype around 1999, but the racing project was stopped. The engine instead went into a concept car shown at the 2000 Paris motor show, which became the Carrera GT.

The production car used a carbon-fibre monocoque and engine subframe, inboard pushrod suspension and carbon-ceramic brakes. Its small ceramic clutch was a first for a road car.
