Porsche Carrera GT

If you are looking for an ultra luxury car that embodies "form and function", look no further than the Porsche Carrera GT. When Porsche decided to make an ultra luxury car, they didn't just make another car: they made a car that would be legendary for its speed and style. The Porsche Carrera GT started its life as a concept car, unveiled at the Louvre in 2000; but it was not actually produced until late 2003. To get an idea of what the Porsche Carrera GT drives like, imagine swinging a knife through the air. That is what the Porsche Carrera GT does: its sleek body slices right through the air. This ability is a result of an extremely powerful V10 that would be normally used in one of Porsche's race cars. With a top speed of 205mp/h (330 km/h) and 605 hp, the Porsche Carrera GT may not be the fastest or most powerful car on the earth today, but it certainly ranks up there with some of the other legends of the ultra luxury car industry. Coupled with that engine is a luxurious interior, such as is rare in the sports cars world. One thing that really stands out on the interior is the shifter which is mounted right next to the steering wheel. If it were possible to sum the Porsche Carrera GT up in one word, that word would be fluid. As a result, there are very few straight lines on the Porsche Carrera GT. Every detail inside and out flows gently into the next, giving the eye the impression of motion even when there is none. The Porsche Carrera GT is definitive of all that makes an ultra luxury car: speed, style, and quality; and it is guaranteed to always be in the very highest echelon of the ultra luxury car world.
