by Brad Anderson<\/a><\/p>\n 2 hours ago<\/p>\n Only 80 of the 1,270 Carrera GTs ever built wore Guards Red paint.<\/p>\n This 2005 example has covered just 12,680 miles across four owners.<\/p>\n Inspectors called the condition excellent, noting only minor stone chips<\/p>\n While a handful of niche outfits like GMA and Nilu<\/a> are chasing the old formula of exotic, naturally aspirated engines bolted to manual gearboxes, the big automakers walked away from that recipe years ago and show no sign of coming back. That retreat is exactly why cars like the Porsche Carrera GT carry the pull they do today, and arguably command more longing now than they did when they were new on the showroom floor.<\/p>\n Read: A Connecticut Shop Cut Up A Carrera GT To Make Its Own Supercar<\/a><\/p>\n Before the arrival of the Porsche<\/a> 918 Spyder, the Carrera GT was the absolute pinnacle of Porsche performance. Capped at just 1,270 units worldwide, each fitted with a motorsport-derived 5.7-liter naturally aspirated V10 and a six-speed manual, Porsche\u2019s answer to the Ferrari Enzo is a true supercar great.<\/p>\n Alex Penfold\/RM Sotheby\u2019s<\/p>\n While the vast majority of Carrera GTs<\/a> were painted silver, 80 were painted Guards Red, and one of these is up for sale in Europe. This 2005 model has had four owners since new and has been driven just 20,408 km (12,680 miles). While that\u2019s certainly more than some other Carrera GTs, it\u2019s obviously not much in the grand scheme of things.<\/p>\n As laid out by RM Sotheby\u2019s, the classic supercar was inspected just before auction with expert Jochen Bader describing the overall condition as \u201cexcellent, with only a few minor stone chips present.\u201d The inspection notes that the car has also received the improved suspension parts Porsche developed as part of a recall campaign in 2024<\/a>. A bunch of service invoices is also available, showing that it\u2019s been well-maintained over the past two decades.<\/p>\n Alex Penfold\/RM Sotheby\u2019s<\/p>\n While the Guards Red paint makes the car stand out from most other Carrera GTs<\/a>, the interior is fairly subdued. As such, it\u2019s finished in black leather, adorning the seats, door panels, dashboard, and steering wheel. The supercar\u2019s iconic wooden shift knob has also been retained.<\/p>\n Given the condition the car is in, the expected result comes as little surprise. RM Sotheby\u2019s anticipates it will change hands for somewhere between $2.65 million and $3.25 million.
