Porsche Carrera GT: 5 Reasons It’s Still the Collectible of Choice

About 1,270 Carrera GT cars rolled off the assembly line. That is not an insignificant amount in the world of collector cars. By way of comparison, only about 300 Porsche 959 models were ever made. But the Carrera GT is still not something you see up for sale every day.

Rarity certainly comes into play when thinking about future values. Not only is Porsche not making any more of these cars. Production stopped in 2006. But no one is making anything like these cars again. A naturall-aspirated V10? In 2023? That is a rapidly dying breed.

Joe has been obsessed with cars since he got his very first Matchbox toy in the ‘70s. In 2003, he found a new obsession in track days that led to obtaining his SCCA competition license in 2015. In 2019, he became a certified driving instructor for the National Auto Sport Association. His love for all things four wheels has never wavered, whether it's driving some of the best cars in the world on the racetrack, tackling 2,000-mile road trips in 2-seat sports cars or being winched off the side of a mountaintop in a Jeep. Writing for the suite of Internet Brands Auto Communities sites, including Rennlist.com, Ford Truck Enthusiasts, 6 Speed and more allows him to share that knowledge and passion with others.
