Base Price: 2006 Porsche Carrera GT - Approx. $484,000 / 450,000 € (last update: 2/3/2006)

$484,000, I don't care if you have 10 million dollars , driving a car worth that much money would stress me out! Where do you park it if you're out?

I can't see how you do anything but drive it from the garage out without stopping anywhere and back in the garage.

I would imagine you could pick up a few chickies in that thing!

As soon as this guy parked the car he had a crowd around it...nice car that I would never buy..waste of $$ if you ask me.

I have seen three of them down here in Miami - it is truly and awesome car - major difference between this and any level Ferrari (only the Enzo compares) or Lamborgini is you can drive this everday - I looked into getting a Ferrari until I realized you could put about 2000 miles on it a year - this Porsche is about the nicest ride you could ever get (Mclauren maybe) - of course it is a half a mil - rarely will you see one of these outside of Calinfornia or S. Florida.

If you looking to draw attention your better off with a Ferrari - very few people in the world would understand exactly what this car is - they would think it's jsut another Porsche with a different back.

The Enzo is an awsome car...

I'll take this "hooptie" and buy.......oh, I don't know..........a HOUSE as well.

Its a porshe that looks like a million bucks

Your girlfriend will 'key it' when she's mad at you. Then you just say, "I'm mad at my girlfriend!". It's all part of the fast lane.
