Porsche
Carrera GT is a race-bred sports car that has set new benchmarks in road
engineering. Carrera GT has used technologies that provide genuine race
performance with exemplary dynamics to ensure smooth ride in virtually
all road scenarios.
Porsche Carrera GT employs race-derived chassis construction techniques
and high-tech materials to help minimise weight. The Porsche Ceramic
Composite Brake (PCCB) uses high-tech wearing parts and six-piston
calipers to achieve breathtaking deceleration and endless fade
resistance under even the most demanding track conditions.
