Königseder Tuning takes on the Porsche Carrera GT

Leipzig, 2004: the Porsche Carrera GT, born out of a racing program but built for the street, begins a production run that will total just 1,270 units and last only two years. Little did the world know new versions of the car would still be built by the aftermarket on a nearly monthly basis for the next five years.

Of course all of those tuned examples are built on original Porsche chassis, so it’s not like the car is getting any less rare. And that makes it all the more remarkable that examples are still being made available to fit tuning kits, body parts and wheels to fully three years since the Carrera GT ceased production.

Showing due respect for the car, the Königseder Tuning treatment leaves the 5.7L V10 alone - its 605hp (450kW) is enough - and focuses solely on improving aerodynamics.
