Madre del Dios! If one were to define the word "faptastic," I'd wager you'de find pictures of this particular car accompany it in a dictionary. ;)

Porsche Classic Recommissions Carrera GT In Oak Green Metallic
For the first time ever, Porsche Classic has recommissioned a privately-owned Carrera GT, making it unlike any other.

The car was unveiled at RM Sotheby’s recent Porscheanniversary auction and while it may not be to everyone’s taste, it is undeniably eye-catching.

The most obvious point of difference between this Carrera GT and all others is the Oak Green Metallic paint scheme. Porsche first introduced this special shade in 1978 as a non-metallic color before it was revised in the early 1990’s and made metallic. It’s been available most recently on the Porsche 911 R and Porsche 911 GT3 but remains a very rare color.

From the factory, colors for the Carrera GT were limited and excluding rare Paint to Sample shades, were limited to two different blacks, two shades of silver, Fayence Yellow, and Guards Red. Looking at this Carrera GT makes us wish Oak Green Metallic was also an option from the factory.

Beyond applying a fresh lick of paint, Porsche Classic outfitted the car with a pair of bespoke wheels with matte gold spokes and chrome accents. The same gold is also applied to the cylinder heads. Completing the changes is fresh wine red metallic leather with black and grey inserts, GTspirit reports.

It remains to be seen how the owner of this Carrera GT convinced Porsche Classic to work on the car. Either way, we imagine it was quite a costly endeavour.

Like all other Carrera GTs, this car is powered by a naturally-aspirated 5.7-liter V10 engine delivering 603 hp and 435 lb-ft of torque. It is rightly considered one of the greatest supercars ever produced.

I wish there were more pics of the interior. If there's any fault for me to find, maybe I'd opt for the gunmetal Platinum finish to the wheels and cylinder heads. If there's anyone near the Atlanta area, cart your arse on over to Porsche HQ.
 
Maybe my mind is in rut, but I can't think of any supercar from this century that is better proportioned than the Carrera GT... or more exciting, for that matter. The things I'd do to get my hands on a CGT.....

Since 2004 there's been a Carrera GT (sometimes a 918 recently) in the left front window of the old Mahattan Motorcars location. Each time I walk by I stop and stare like a kid in a candy store.

Ooof! It's somehow perfect. I never thought I'd say that about dark green Porsche - let alone a dark green CGT - but heck it looks spectacular.

I think most greens look very much at home on 911's...I am particularly fond of this hue as well as Irish Green and Brewster Green.

So.........it's essentially just a resprayed Carerra GT?

More or less, yeah, with new interior upholstery.

That thing is still there??! And what's the story with that location? Did that sell it?
