The Porsche Carrera GT
At 605 HP, this mean machine seems a baby next to the Veyron. But have no
illusions. This guy was designed a purebred race machine. And it means business.
The engine displaces 5.7 litres and has a 68 degree V angle. An interesting feature
of this engine is that it has a low center of gravity, and the engine serves as a load
bearing part fo the chassis structure. However, it's so fine tuned that this doesn't
cause a distortion to the cylinder bores.
The engine, combined with the advanced aerodynamics let this car go upto 205 mph.
And with a price tag of $440,000, I may just order one when I get the next pay check.
