Default Carrera GT owners gift set

Does anybody have a list of what was given to the original buyer of a Carrera GT in 2005? I know there was a gift set that included an engine model and things like that.

Thanks

I'll have to go root through the attic to see what I received. It's always hard to tell post purchase stuff from marketing promotion pre-sale materials after some time has passed.

Depending on the country of purchase we are given away different things. I'll get you. Yes, I remember a scale engine box.

But the first thing we received was this: Future manufactured units: 1,500. It was not fulfilled:

I happen to have one, in the presentation box with the VHS tape.

Quite nice - saved for a number of years.

Make me a reasonable offer if you are interested.

Ok so who was the original designer of the CGT? Who gets the credit?

Grant Larson, or Jason Hill?? Hills original 1999 sketch evidently moved to a 1/4 model to be refined. Both are from art center of design, but I think Hill's sketch really could be the origin for the car as we know its shape today. Anyone know more about this?

I came across a copy of an original sketch by Grant Larson along with a personalized letter, dated January 14th 2005 and signed by Porsche North America CEO at the time, Peter Schwarzenbauer. I was wondering if this was item was rare and or how much this would be worth amoung collectors.

Best,
