As morbid as it may be, the Carrera GT gained additional publicity in 2013 when actor Paul Walker was killed in one. It got people talking about the car again, and the power it had, and its handling characteristics.
In more recent, and far-happier news, YouTube star Doug DeMuro recently purchased his dream car, which of course is a Carrera GT. It is not like the car needed more press, but high-profile events like this always draw more attention to a vehicle and that can lead to upticks in prices.
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.
