    A very interesting animated video that shows the production line assembly process for the Carrera GT:

    Seems fairly in line with other delivery-mile CGTs that have sold in recent years. I think I would prefer a PTS car with a few miles over that, though!

    A poignant excerpt from Evo's 2005 test of the Carrera GT against the Ferrari F430 and Pagani Zonda F. Full article linked below. For those interested in a CGT, I currently have a car or two available!

    That V10 is an absolute masterpiece. So free-revving and instantaneous, so responsive to the most minute throttle inputs, you don't so much drive the Carrera GT as play it like an instrument.

    No, he didn’t. He was apparently down under for his honeymoon.

    A nice still shot of some serious driving in a Carrera GT.

    This comes from the less-than-stellar movie "Redline," the production of which resulted in a sad fate for two GT Silver Carrera GTs, one of which was literally and quite intentionally thrown off a cliff. :(

    Ι don't see any bloody reason to destroy two CGTs. Confiscated cars? But again, that's not a reason....

    Wonder how many were produced in that color? The last one like that I saw was in 2005 driving on the streets in old San Juan.

    … and did I mention how wonderful the cam sounded when creeping along a potholed street?:rolleyes:
