The Porsche Carrera GT is a car that ignites the passion of car enthusiasts like no other. And now, a unique example of this iconic mid-engined supercar is up for sale. Customized by Zagato, this stunning Carrera GT is looking for a new owner to appreciate its beauty and power.
Originally delivered to the U.S. in 2005, this Carrera GT is one of only 676 examples that made their way to American shores. In 2011, it was exported to the UK and has been meticulously serviced by Porsche Carrera GT master technician Craig Mayo ever since.
During its previous ownership, the car underwent a repaint in Slate Grey by Porsche GB. It was then purchased by the current owner, who wanted to make it truly unique. To achieve this, he sent the car to Zagato for a complete GTZ transformation. The customization process took six months to complete and included the installation of new body panels and a bespoke dark metallic green paint job. The wheels were also given a graphite finish, adding to the car’s overall aesthetic appeal.
Zagato has only converted six Carrera GTs, with one of them being a prototype. This particular Carrera GTZ, chassis 4 of 5, stands out even among its limited production siblings. It features a one-of-a-kind Zagato interior, with the seats retrimmed in luxurious leather. The dashboard, armrests, door cards, A-pillar, sun visors, central tunnel, and center console have all been bathed in the same premium leather. While the cost of these interior changes is unknown, the exterior modifications alone set the owner back almost €400,000 (~$438,000).
The Carrera GTZ is currently listed for sale through Carhuna and has undergone a thorough inspection by Porsche GB to ensure its quality. During the inspection, a perished door seal, reverse light switch, and minor wheel nut damage were discovered. However, these issues have been addressed and resolved. The car will also come with a set of second-hand Carrera GT wheels, and the front brake discs will be refurbished after the sale.
This unique Carrera GTZ is a true collector’s item. With its limited production numbers, bespoke Zagato interior, and stunning exterior modifications, it is a car that will turn heads wherever it goes. The combination of the iconic Carrera GT platform and Zagato’s expert craftsmanship make this car a truly special piece of automotive history.
For those who appreciate the thrill of driving a high-performance supercar, the Porsche Carrera GT is hard to beat. Its mid-engined layout, powerful V10 engine, and precise handling make it a dream to drive on both the road and the track. And with the added customization by Zagato, this particular Carrera GTZ takes the driving experience to a whole new level.
If you’re in the market for a truly unique and exhilarating supercar, look no further than this customized Porsche Carrera GTZ. With its stunning exterior, bespoke interior, and impeccable service history, it is a car that will bring joy and excitement to its new owner for years to come.
