The second Porsche supercar was the 911 GT1, which was based on a heavily modified 993 platform. Like the 959, it was produced and made available to the public for homologation purposes so that it could be raced by Porsche at Le Mans. The 911 GT1 was produced from 1996-1999. It has a water cooled twin-turbo flat-six engine that produced 700 bhp. With a 2400lb curb weight, the 911 GT1 was extremely fast. It had a 0-62 time of 3.3 seconds and a top speed of 235 mph.
Still locked in the competitive war with Ferrari, the Carrera GT is available for a mere $440,000 while the comparable Ferrari, the Ferrari Enzo, runs about $200,000 more. Canadians will pay closer to $550,000 for the Carrera GT.
