This picture is taken at the Singapore Auto Show last month, of a very rare sighting of Porsche Carrera GT. They only plan to make 1500 of this supercar for the next 3 years or so. Seeing one will be a very rare thing, not only because it has a price tag of at least nearing 3 million ringgit, it is also because it goes so fast, you may not even see it coming (and going).

Intro to Porsche Carrera GT: Porsch's Carrera GT is a race-bred mid-engine Carrera GT roadster .The heart of the GT holds a new 5.7-liter V-10 engine that whips up 605 horsepower. Unveiled at the 2003 Geneva International Motor Show and introduced at the 2004 North American International Auto Show, the Carrera GT is trickling into U.S. dealerships. Porsche claims the Carrera GT will yield "a full-blown racetrack experience on the road." Lightweight construction is paramount. The monocoque structure and subframe of the Carrera GT are made of carbon-fiber-reinforced plastic. The car has a flat bottom and a rear diffuser. Not only will the Carrera GT accelerate from zero to 62 mph in less than 4 seconds, but it can also reach 125 mph in 9.9 seconds due to a specially developed six-speed-manual gearbox. Specially forged, extremely lightweight magnesium wheels are said to be a production car "first," according to Porsche. The front tires measure 19 inches in diameter, while larger 20-inchers are fitted at the rear. The roadster's roof consists of two individual carbon-fiber shells that can be stowed in the front compartment. Each weighs 5.3 pounds. Porsche builds the Carrera GT in Leipzig, Germany. Interior Two passengers fit inside the Carrera GT's cockpit. Manually adjustable seats are finished in smooth leather on composite carbon shells. The console is made of composite materials and covered in galvanized magnesium. Fitted with a ball-shaped wood knob, the gearshift lever is positioned next to the steering wheel. Air conditioning is standard, and the Carrera GT can have a navigation system and Bose audio. Porsche includes a five-piece set of leather luggage that matches the car's interior color. Under the Hood The 5.7-liter V-10 engine in the Carrera GT is equipped with dry-sump lubrication and produces 605 hp at 8,000 rpm and 435 pounds-feet of torque at 5,750 rpm. Based on the 5.5-liter V-10 that Porsche developed strictly for racing, the engine works with a six-speed-manual gearbox. Porsche claims the Carrera GT can reach a track speed of 205 mph. Acceleration from zero to 62 mph takes 3.9 seconds. Safety The Carrera GT comes with traction control and front and side-impact airbags. Porsche Ceramic Composite Brakes are equipped with an antilock feature. The seats can be fitted with six-point racing seat belts in place of the three-point belts.
