The Porsche Carrera GT (Project Code 980) is a mid-engine sports car that was manufactured by German automobile manufacturer Porsche from 2003 to 2006.The development of the Carrera GT can be traced back to the 911 GT1 and LMP1-98 racing cars. In part due to the FIA and ACO rule changes in 1998, both designs had ended. Porsche at the time had planned a new Le Mans prototype for the 1999 season. The Carrera GT is powered by a 5.7 L (5,733 cc) V10 engine rated at 450 kW (612 PS 603 hp). The Carrera GT was initially offered with five basic colours: Guards Red, Fayence Yellow, Basalt Black, GT Silver metallic and Seal Grey. Custom colours were later available from the factory.
