The great Carrera GT acceleration lie ?
The Porsche handbook acceleration diagram shows a 0-300kph (186.3mph) in around 27s.
It states that this is for a car at DIN empty weight and with a 50% load without additional equipment which seems to be a car with no extras (ie a/c etc) at the 1380kg DIN weight + two people.
I have no idea if such a bare car exists but the majority of CGTs are like the one tested in Sport Auto magazine which did the 0-300kph sprint in 34s. with 100-300kph taking 30.2s.
I have just finished running at an airstrip and logged 7 runs (with 2 people on board and at least half a tank of fuel) The average 100-300kph was 29.52s or an equivalent 0-300kph in 33.3s with a best of 28.62s or 0-300kph in 32.42s.
I find it very hard to believe that there is a CGT out there which can lop 5+seconds off this time
BTW the CGT was sooooo stable at 195mph, virtually hands off and a spine tingling mix of sensations
