This is it! We drive the mighty Porsche Carrera GT - something we have been wanting to drive ever since we started this channel. And now it’s finally here!
Prepare for your ears to be blasted and your eyes to be melted in a full review and drive in this incredible 600bhp supercar - one of Porsche’s greatest ever cars.
Find out all about the history, the controls, the way the car behaves on the road, what Damian and Jason think of it, that carbon clutch - and of course, experience THAT NOISE of the naturally-aspirated 5.7 litre V10 engine. One of the all time great powerplants.
Will TheCarGuys stall the car? Exactly how much of a pain is that carbon clutch? What’s the noise like at full chat? How does it handle? What’s the interior like? What are its performance figures? And will it come to TheCarGuys garage? All these questions and more will be answered in this week’s episode.

Without a shadow of a doubt my favourite ever car guys episode… WHAT A CAR…really appreciate the way you put so much detail into your episodes, all other car channels should take note 👌🏻
An incredible piece of engineering, I was lucky enough to witness about a month before release, watching Walter Rohl treat Lord marche for a couple of laps of Goodwood, just by luck I arrived at the track saw a couple of Marshall scattered around then all of a sudden a people carrier filming Walter, driving real slow, then it pulled in and Walter absolutely nailed it, literally fish tailing half way up the straight, the sound was like nothing I'd ever heard!!! A memory I will never forget,
As a long time subscriber, I felt so happy for you guys getting the chance to drive one of your dream cars. Keep it up ❤
It's still an epic looking car and has got better with age in a time when some new cars, now get over-designed. Glad you finally got to drive one.
The replacement clutch isn’t £35k. It’s £9k as part of an engine out service and last for ages if operated correctly.
The clue is in your name
I genuinely wasn’t aware a CGT sounded like that! Wow. But…you are absolutely right about that clutch. Great vid guys
Remember going to the ring (12-13 years ago) with circuit days and a guy came along with a yellow RS4 and blue CGT. He knows how to drive it and never forget the sound it was bloody epic. I like the understated cabin, less is more.👌
In my very humble opinion, the Carrera GT is easily worth one million pounds. When your average saloon is pushing one hundred thousand pounds, the GT commands and deserves the figures quoted. Another superb video, gentlemen!
👍🏻👍🏻
The clutch is thankfully not £35,000. It is less than half that fitted (I know - I replaced mine just last year) - still a lot of course! I know the clutch off the line isn't the easiest - but trust the anti-stall software (which I think is a cool feature!) and it really isn't hard at all. For me it is part of the special nature of a car that absorbs like no other car. Last year I fitted KW suspension on mine (developed by Olaf Manthey himself) and it takes the handling to another level. Anyway, thank you for another great video.
You’ve spotted the traditional “Jason gets his facts completely wrong” section of the video
Smiled throughout the entire video! Thank for making it!
Harmonically and visually stunning. But for a drive the Touring would be more satisfying given the CGT's running costs, sketchy handling and investment?
Excellent video. Well done - really shows off the car. My favorite since way before it was a favorite of UA-camrs. I taught English at the Porsche factory in Leipzig where - and when they built them. I remember being in class and hearing a shrieking engine, assuming it was a motorcycle on the autobahn. One of the guys was like "no, they're testing a Carrera GT". That sound really is epic. I remember having a tour of the factory and they had three or four of them at the very end of the production line, all being polished, with an A4 piece of paper taped to each, with "Los Angeles", "Singapore", "Dubai" or whatever on them..
Great story, glad you liked the episode
What a machine from the end of a special era. Great that you got to drive 1, maybe an F50 episode is on the cards......
The Intro: OMG!!
The rest of the Video: A pure Loveletter to a piece of Art.
Thank you so much for taking us with you on this super-awesome ride! Also it is nice to see, that you guys although you have driven crazy cars like an Ferrari TdF ort F40 are as frightened and humbled like any other car guy. And the pure joy and excitement in your eyes, pure Gold!
What could possible top this?
Pleasure to have you along for the ride
The 918. Go on jason amd damien treat us all
Get it bought 😂
Seriously doubtful...you heard Damian go on about fear of running costs right and it being just like a 996, and he didn't really connect with it like Jason did.
This was a very special video, thanks for sharing this with all of us!
You’re welcome, Stefan
This was like meeting the girl you lusted after at school - but were too chicken to ask out - in a bar 17 years after you last saw her. Only this time age and experience (and perhaps a couple of stiff gins) have given you a devil may care attitude to rejection . If you don’t ask you don’t get right. So you stroll up expecting to be Spanish archered, but instead she says, “I knew it was you, how amazing to see you. Did you know I fancied you at school.” From there I’ll let your imagination take over. Yep, it was that good. Seeing your beanage faces. The same face you see when the out-of-your-league girl says yes. A joy to behold. All the Car Guys effort over the last 4 years was worth it. Congrats chaps. So happy you got to live the dream and through you, vicariously, so did we. Truly. Splendid.
👍👍👍 Thanks, mate - beautiful words as always
It made me smile seeing you finally give the Carrera GT some beans! Well done guys! 👏
Probably the most honest review of this car ever,you revealed the wart on the maidens bottom😂 definitely in the top 3 of The Car Guys .
Finally the moment we’ve been waiting for arrived! What a fantastic experience……really pleased for you both. Just wish I could have been there. Thanks for giving us such amazing content.
Makes no sense this channel doesn't have millions of subs. Excellent!
Appreciate that
I can only tap the like button once which is a shame, at least918 times, lads it was brilliant , thanks ,live the dream

I bet yours has shot up in value! I remember at the time watching your purchase vid and how you predicted it was going to go up in value. Absolute chaos
Silicone carbide 🤪 The GT with its visceral howl and the Merc SLR sounding like a Spitfire. What a period of engineering.
This would be quite the video. 288 GTO, XJ 220, 959, F40, F50 CGT because it’s a pretty analog car even though it’s a lot newer than the others and do a comparison video of what’s the better driving car and ranking them
Love the sound of that engine guys, well done.
Wow, just wow. CGT, wow. Best vid ever, you should hit more than 100k easy now. Wow.
Great review guys of a legendary car. Thanks so much for sharing but I do share your concerns of the drivability of this car. Personally I own a Manual Audi R8 V10 which is pretty much the same performance - 0-60pmh in 3.9 secs (pretty much identical with a light tune to 600bhp) and you can drive it all day like a Audi TT in everyday use, seems crazy Audi managed this not Porsche. Looking forward to the next vid, cheers
No where near the same performance. The gt is far superior in handling,sound and speed
The original pure driving experience
Great video and great banter…
CGT is special so special!
I did get to see the LMP2000 lemans car they pinched the engine from at Porsche FOS as Porsche bought it out of the museum for the first time ever! So cool 😎
Who doesn’t love a GT review complete with a bit of Darth Vader dialogue thrown in ?!...good job guys ..nice to finally see one on the channel..918 next ?..👍🇬🇧🏎
Epic. My favourite video in a long time. Thank you chaps!
Friday night with Hobgoblins and I am watching you two guys and grinning my head off .... outstanding. 959 next time
Unreal video boys really enjoyed it keep up the good work
Just phenomenal and astonishing
They are a thing of beauty, still look modern to this day. I've only ever seen one on the road (in yellow) and I was open mouthed
Great video. No mention of the pitted cam issues that they can also suffer from.
Happy for you guys 👍 it’s a hero car and your video did it real justice
The sound of that V10! ❤️
What a great CG episode. Two wallies jabbering on with huge grins.. whilst that engine note says it all. Question: which feels better in your hand? The warmth of that soft glow birch gearknob or the cold hard steel of an F40 shifter?
@@ektrolleyboy pretty sure the gear knob on the F40 is made out of aluminum
OMfG, my dream car. I am saving my pennies and working my way up. I'd trade my 992GT3 for this, no problems.
Love the CGT beans. This was one of your best ever uploads. Oh, and speed is not everything, experience is!
Fantastic episode guys, truly special. Well done. 👌
Thank you so much for creating this beautiful content
Our pleasure!
Great video guys and what an amazing sounding car, thank you for bringing that to us! 👌
I also own a 17(ish) year old silver, mid engined, rear wheel drive convertible. Ok, it's a Toyota MR2, but I can pretend 😂.
Happy you got to realise your dream.A very special car.Cheers,enjoyed this very much.
Good Evening Gentlemen I absolutely love this video on the Carrera GT. I have a very important question to ask and it's been a long time waiting.
Would you ever consider or are your opinions on the ZAGATO CARRERA GT I know one very beautiful one was built for a German Business Man the question where is its place in terms of greatness. Thank you
This is worth every penny, just for the sound it makes and the smile it puts on your face’s..😎😎😎
Man that’s so nice you have to get one and you know what would great next to it, an F40 😉
Thanks for sharing 👍🏻👍🏻 really enjoyed it!
Glad you enjoyed it!
A car decades ahead of its time! Great episode guys!!
great episode, and I think you’re somewhat relieved the clutch is crap 😂
Videos like this makes me think its a shame there isnt a turbo like button
Great vid..thanks. When it came out, it was part of the trinity with the Enzo and the SLR Mclaren. I still think the Enzo is the most special of the 3. Now that's one I'd like to see here.
Just to advise the Enzo has an appallingly slow and clunky early F1 gearbox that is nearly as bad as the CGT clutch! I didn't own one, but swapped one of my cars with a well known musicians Enzo for 10 days, and it was a bit tortuous to peddle and it's modded 599 engine not that special either and tbh not a patch on a 40 or even a 50 F car!
@@paulthorpe766 thanks for the reply. I have no experience of driving super or hyper cars so accept what you say. I'd still prefer an Enzo over the Porsche, the F40 is my all time favourite.
hi
Absolutely loved this video, had me smiling 😀. I also would be pretty scared 😱 and also very excited about driving one. Definitely a “special occasion super car”. 🤝
I'm glad to hear that you enjoyed my car.
🤣🤣
Boy playing with toys...
Thanks for the drive..
😎
Okay so I have an issue of the DuPont registry dating back several years ago. In one of the ads there was a red carrera gt listed for 250k usd
Amazing but still a VW F40 please, great video.👍😀
Great video, thanks guys.
I was at Caffeine and Machine a few Sundays ago. 15 CGTs turned up!! Common!!! 😂😂😂
Yes we saw that too
Great video, the sound of the car is amazing
The funny thing is that a few years back these were rather unloved and going for £300k. Bit like Jag XJ220.
I'd rather have a Porsche GT1 to be honest, has some racing pedigree also. That is proper Porsche, this is just a V10 trinket with a good engine. If I wanted a V10 I'd get the LFA Nürburgring, which was also unloved. It just sounds better, and although the gearbox is not the best, neither is the clutch in this car apparently.
And it's a fecking convertible. When was the best Porsche ever a convertible over their entire history?
This car is as much a convertible as an F1 car is a „convertible“.
550 Spyder….
LFA next please!
Are there any questions?, no!
Simply definitive.
Bring the noise.
EDIT: The sound when it changes from 2nd to 3rd. Never boring.
I've been trying to buy one for over a year with a Budget of 650-700k euro but nothing is available at that price. The ones advertised at 850-1 mill are for sale for ages and not selling, hopefully prices come back a tad
For Porsche fans, this is a Holy Grail car.
I dunno, but it‘s especially those kinda quirks like that temperamental clutch in the CGT that make these cars interesting and endearing to me. Not that I could ever afford one. But I mean, _race cars_ are often hard to get going from a standstill, easy to stall, and need finessing to work well. This just works with the host of race car DNA that‘s in the CGT in my opinion.
Plus-why worry if a bunch of plebs who know nothing about this car laugh about you stalling her or pulling away slowly. Did their opinion ever matter?
Nice honest review..waiting for the Daddy now..F50 ! Sell a few n grab one while you can before EV bollocks rules the waves
Great episode guys. 🐐
918 next! Though i prefer the cgt
What great experience. Happy Motoring!
Piece of art.
Yep
Bravo gentleman friend here has one … epic sound and car….
Have you driven an f50 guys? Would love a back to back with one of those.
Rip Paul Walker
No we haven't
@@TheCarGuysTV well in that case, please make it happen. I’d love to see how this compares with the efficient german. Quite a few similarities too with a race derived engine, open top… I think you could be quite taken by the F50 😊
Excellent review chaps. What a privilege!
Basically reached heaven status in the car world by driving this car
What great footage and 16:07 in love the Mickey Mouse impression 😂
love the cgt
Love your comments guys ! Keep going ;;;this one was one of kind , definitely
Loved the teaser that you had in there! Great job guys love your content!
That noise! Also, just checking in: has Jason forgiven you for selling the F40 yet? :p
Definitely not
Finally! The one we have all been waiting for!!
Question for either Damian, Jason or both: Carrera GT or Ferrari F50?
GT for sure - JT although I haven’t driven an F50… yet
SOLD FOR $1,902,000 ON 1/5/22 on Bring a Trailer auction just one week ago
Epic content
Thanks.
Presumably the definition of giving it some “welly” is to give it the “beans” 😄
Man wee 😂 😂 😂 😂, good to see Jason back
You talk about the problems of moving off, what the hell would you do if you had to do a hill start!!!
CGT simply have the best sound ... IN THE WOOOORLD
Here having also just watched the new GT4 RS reveal, which ooks to be a very special car and the last of its kind before Porsche go all electric.... please tell me you are going to order one? 🙏
"...back to the studio!" And then cuts to the octane collection car park. This is why I love you guys, no need to be poncy and posh, sure it has it's place, but this is fun.
We had one of these here at Madeira island, was sold to Dubai. I'd almost bet my left nut (the small one) that it went clutchless... :D
Made me think about the current crop of super cars. The 918/P1/La Ferrari. And one or two others… And. It seems like they were released. Got a bit of press. Then just faded to “Meh!”
I fear the future will be a lot of “Meh!” From now on.
The most beautiful car ever built - timeless - once in a life time car - and made of unattainable.....
The design is by...nature formed by the wind
The Sound rivals the best operas ever written
The clutch is special too - I guess it's made up from potential buyers to keep the price down
The holy grail of automobile history - now you hear music
5:42 400 lbf.ft (Pound Force Foot) = 542.33 N.M (Newton Meter). The correct figure for the Carrera GT is 435 lbf.ft
You are correct - I must have left a previous number in
@@TheCarGuysTV hey, by the way, awesome video! Keep up with the good work guys! Cheers from Italy.
Absolute work of art.
Hello how are you doing. I believe you are healthy and also having a nice weather where you are. I live in California and I'm looking for a new friend Ok!
New James Bond film? narrr, let that wait because the Car Guys have the real blockbuster.
2 things, 1. modern tyres take away some of the handling compromises I think and 2. cant believe that Porsche cant engineer a more robust clutch pack.
Got to get it asap
What a car
Brilliant video
I’m glad you were so excited, but the video ended up with a higher hype to fact ratio than usual - perhaps a bit too self-congratulatory.
Not sure what you mean
