One of my favourite cars of all time. One of these showed up at a track day event years ago and I’ll never forget the sound of that car going by at wide open throttle. Amazing. I wonder how it would perform with something like a set of Michelin Cup 2’s? Tire technology has come a long way since this car came out.

This and the LFA. Two of my favorites. The sound of that engine.

The Walker death crash was all driver error. Worn tires and going nearly 100 in a 35mph zone is a recipe for disaster in any car.

I drove a CGT at LeMans Bugatti just after the launch. Without doubt the best road car I have ever driven, however the chassis created more grip capability than the road tyres at the time could handle. This led to the car having ‘hair trigger’ like behaviour in fast corners which required relatively high skill levels to manage. We were there testing the then new 911GT3RS which was an incredibly quick car at the time. The CGT was considerably quicker even in road set up. Tyre technology has now moved in considerably and these issues have been resolved. In my opinion, the CGT is the absolute pinnacle of the analog super car. It is without equal - but it requires a driver with decent skill levels to master it. Which - for a pure super car - is as it should be

See. This was always my feeling. There was no issue with the car. The issue was under qualified drivers. Porsche had a long history of making absolute weapons. In the right hands perfectly safe. Hell people crash their regular production cars at an alarming rate. No fault of the car. Solely driver error.

I've heard that with good tires and a capable driver the CGT is amazing and not hard to drive. You just have to remember to let the clutch all of the way out before touching the throttle pedal.

So this is Porsche's version of the original viper RT 10

@@LexusLFA554 The Corvair was only slightly worse than other cars at the time. They were all terribly dangerous. The low cost and rear engine made the corvair an easy target to push for car safety improvements since it was easy for people to run out of talent in them while also being a lot of them out there. Any other car contemporary to it could have been the target if the Corvair wasn't there, but it would have been a harder argument to make with a traditional car.

But they're a bit shitty made too. No serious brands.

Most people couldn't properly drive a race car without crashing it. That's what this car really is. Back in 79 I bought a Torino GT that was being set up for stock car racing and I reinstalled the lights and started driving it on the street. It didn't take long for me to realize that it was more car than I could handle. I sold it after three months.

These cars were not so crazy dangerous, they just must be treated with respect . The lack of Driver aids .

RIP Paul. 💔 Nice video. 😔

Any car that could do over 100mph and was built before disc brakes and radial tyres was a widow maker.

If you're not an experience driver well dont call it a death trap because there's no way an inexperience driver will be able to handle it😊

@dannymostarac1799

Indeed

I can understand the lack of electronic assists, wanting to make it a "pure", old-school sports / race car, but I wasn't aware that it had no airbags. That seems to me like an unnecessary omission. Sure it would have added *some* weight, but I'd personally consider that "necessary for a road car"-levels of weight. Seems about the same as driving a race car wearing a leather helmet just for the sake of "doing it like in the olden days". It crosses the line between risk vs. reward. But maybe that's just me...

Great Review 👍 You strike the balance between information and humour. Furthermore you discuss its competitors like the F1 McLaren, the Enzo, the Bugatti etc. The Carrera GT put Porsche back on the market and hypercar arena as the 959 was too limited in its production a la the Ferrari 288 GTO. I am in the minority. I love Ferrari but have never liked the F 40. I would take the Carrera GT anyday over an F 40.

Besides the Lexus LFA, this car is the greatest sounding production car ever built.

It's my dream car. I also got a big spot for the Dodge Viper ACR.

Yes a mere $400,000 lol. I worked for Porsche here in New Zealand last year and before I left, we had a silver Carrera GT in the showroom and the only Carrera GT in the country. I think there were only 3 of us on site who were legally allowed to even touch it due to the nature of the car, and I was not one of them lol. Quite a few kids coming in and looking at it in awe, taking pictures etc which the folks at Porsche were totally friendly about.

The CGT isn't the most dangerous car ever made, as there are other cars that have literally killed more people then this car. The main issue with the CGT, is that its a car not designed for everyone....just because you could afford it, doesn't mean you can drive it. And there are many cars that fall under this list.

I always loved pretending that those 2 tanks in the back were filled w nitrous

It was the tyres not being changed often because most ppl don't have a center-lock key and impact tool like a race team and street tires on the race track may last 5 laps and the tyres are ruined after that.

Don’t blame the car, any car can be deadly if the driver is a maniac

if i had a chance to drive this thing one day (which i will probably not) i would think twice about doing that

so happy Doug got one
