No, Arman's car is a 2005 Guards Red over Dark Grey. I sold his GT Silver car on his behalf in 2018. I think the Guards Red car is a keeper unless he gets something crazy for it.
The "Carrera GT Roadshow," this was a Porsche marketing idea that saw the then-new Cayenne pulling the then-new Carrera GT to multiple locales around Germany. Press release from early 2004: Carrera GT Roadshow starting this coming Saturday Mobile Showroom to Visit 16 Porsche-Centres in 14 German Cities Stuttgart/Bietigheim-Bissingen. The Porsche Deutschland GmbH, Bietigheim-Bissingen, starts a roadshow this coming Saturday, February 14, 2004, that will see the high-performance Carrera GT sports car tour 17 German Porsche Centres. The silver-coloured Carrera GT will be presented in a mobile glass "showroom" pulled by a black Cayenne. The transparent walls of the showroom are designed to provide maximum impact and are the perfect stage for the Carrera GT – not only during its visits to the Porsche Centres, but also as it is transported around Germany. The roadshow will kick off on February 14 at the Porsche Centre in Wiesbaden. The last stop will be the Porsche Centre in Munich on April 3 and 4. Sports car enthusiasts will have the opportunity to see the Carrera GT at daytime or evening events. This month, readers of "auto motor und sport" magazine voted the Carrera GT best sports car in the magazine's annual car awards. These awards, which were decided by more than 100,000 readers, are among the most sought-after car prizes in Europe. The Carrera GT is a car suitable for everyday use that is based on thoroughbred race car technology. The 5.7 litre V10 naturally aspirated engine delivers a maximum output of 450 kW (612 bhp) at 8,000 rpm, with a maximum torque of 590 Nm at 5,750 rpm. The Carrera accelerates from zero to 100 km/h in 3.9 seconds and from zero to 200 km/h in just 9.9 seconds. It has a top speed of 330 kilometres per hour. With the development of the Carrera GT, Porsche AG is not only unveiling the technological possibilities available today in sports car construction, the high-performance sports car also gives an insight into the Porsche technology of the future. The Carrera GT heralds a new construction concept in road and racing vehicles – both the monocoque and the entire sub-frame are made of carbon fibre reinforced plastic (CFP) which delivers optimum strength and weight characteristics. Production of the Carrera GT began in autumn 2003 at the Porsche plant in Leipzig, where the Cayenne, Porsche's sporty off-road vehicle, is also built. Total production was limited to 1,500 vehicles. The Carrera GT will be presented at the following Porsche Centres: February 14, 2004: Wiesbaden March 13, 2004: Darmstadt February 21, 2004: Nuremberg March 18, 2004: Aachen February 27, 2004: Altötting March 19, 2004: Hamburg February 27/28, 2004: Olympiapark Munich March 26, 2004: Bamberg March 5, 2004: Memmingen March 27, 2004: Berlin March 6, 2004: Frankfurt March 28, 2004: Berlin South March 11, 2004: Cologne April 2, 2004: Lübeck March 12, 2004: Dortmund April 3/4, 2004: Munich
Baseball Hall of Fame member Ken Griffey Jr.'s 2005 Carrera GT, VIN WP0CA298X5L001094. This car has been registered in Florida since new, with personalized plate "FEARNO1." Last registration in December 2018, so I'm fairly certain he still owns it. Griffey is the co-owner of Peacock Automotive, which is the umbrella over Porsche of Hilton Head in South Carolina, where the car has occasionally been spotted. The car is Black over Dark Grey, with no special options. Produced October 2004 and originally sold November 30th, 2004.

If its the same car I remember it being owned by a Florida member of 6speed.. he had a nice collection of cars including a CS and a orange Gallardo among other cars. Then I think it popped up in Pennsylvania ( Mclaren dealer ) ? The rare int/ext combo rings a bell
Very interesting...I thought he owned a prototype at one point. I bought and sold Seinfeld’s unique Lotus Exige S260 In Kawasaki green. Image Unavailable, Please Login Sent from my 16M

Sterling, would you please list the most recent sale prices for The Carrera GT. I realize, it’s very dependent on color, miles, recent service,etc......but if you could post some recent numbers that would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
Other than public auction prices (have already posted the Monterey results), it's good practice to keep private sales private, but I'm happy to speak directly with you. Sent you an e-mail.
F1 champion Nelson Piquet's former Carrera GT #0598, recently sold from his collection but still residing in Brazil. Black over Dark Grey, and currently sits at around 800 miles from new. Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login
One of my favorite Paint to Sample and Leather to Sample Carrera GTs. I previously had a single pixelated photo of this car in the factory when new, but luckily a car spotter recently uncovered some more information and took new photos. The car is said to be in Dusseldorf, Germany at a Porsche dealer, and is said to bear build #1197 and VIN #173. We think this one may be PTS Seafoam Green, a rare color seen on the 964 and 993 911s. If anyone has more info, please share! Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login
WP0CA29805L001301 will be going across the block at RM Sotheby's Arizona 2020 auction. This is a USA-delivered '05 car in standard Black over Dark Grey. However, this car left the USA around 2007 for the Calgary area in Alberta, Canada, and remained there through 2019. Records show this car was shipped to Zuffenhausen before completion (standard practice on CGT for fitting of Custom Tailoring options by Porsche), which was carried out primarily for three different options on '05 USA cars: GBC - Air Vent Slats Aluminum Look, GBU - Hardtop Painted in Dev. Color., and GAE - Handbrake Lever w/ Porsche Logo. This car has the third of those options, the handbrake lever. So, yes, this car was sent all the way from Leipzig, around 500 KM to Zuffenhausen, when new, by Porsche, for the fitting of a handbrake lever! Something tells me then-CEO (and famous penny pincher) Wiedeking didn't sign off on that one... Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login
