	Porsche 928 Carrera GT
		Porsche, with an eye firmly fixed on the future, penned a new, less idiosyncratic design and dispensed of, at a stroke, the 911's Achilles heels of rear- engined layout and air-cooled cylinders.
		Porsche had widened their choice of cars - you could choose a hooligan 911 or a big soft smoothie 928 but, people being people, there was always going to be a perverse few individuals who required either a softie 911 or a hooligan 928.
		Porsche, as ever, were only too willing to comply and out of the darkest bowels of the factory came the Carrera GT which was then the rarest, fastest, most uncompromising 928 on the planet.

		Nor do these buyers fret that the two-seat V10-powered Carrera GT is rated at only 12 miles a gallon for combined city/highway fuel economy—less than a burly Cadillac Escalade sport-utility vehicle that weighs nearly twice as much as the weight-conscious Carrera GT.

	CanadianDriver: First Drive - Porsche Carrera GT
		The Carrera GT is a true race car for the road, its body and engine based on the car that Porsche was going to contest the Le Mans 24-hour race in before they went and changed the regulations, thus making it illegal.
		Porsche, on the other hand, only decided to build the GT after it found a business case for it, and so some minor pieces like the radio faceplate and the steering wheel and the control stalks are lifted from the 996-generation 911; no big deal, but something you do notice.
		As for that business about expectation: I've never yet been disappointed by one of Porsche's sports cars, and, though there was a part of me that was prepared for the worst given how much time I'd spent dreaming about this drive, I always knew that the GT was going to live up to the hype.

	Porsche Carrera GT
		The Carrera GT was most aimed towards Ferrari's new Enzo and Mercedes's new SLR Mclaren.
		Porsche's $400k youngster definitely gives the both those cars a run for their money.
		Personally, I would choose the Porsche out of the group since its numbers are comparable to the other two, it costs $200k less than the enzo, and in my opinion by far the best looking.
