Zanzibar Red Porsche Carrera GT left to rust at Chinese dealership

It’s sad to see one of the most sought after supercars like the Porsche Carrera GT gathering dust. We need a hero to rescue her from this Chinese dealership.

It is said that this Carrera GT was parked up at the dealership after the country passed new anti-corruption and anti-excessive consumption laws. Later, the dealer closed down and they couldn’t get rid of the inventory before the shutters fell. As a result, it has been sitting at the same spot for the last 8 years.

Zanzibar Red Porsche Carrera GT-China-2

According to reports, this Carrera GT finished in a rare Zanzibar Red Metallic color (only 3 of 1270 were painted in this color) is chassis no. 1255. The car has matching wheels and yellow brake calipers. Looking at this brilliant spec, we think, if this car were to be on the market today, it would be sold within minutes.

Of course, the rare spec is no doubt special. But, the Carrera GT’s party piece is its 5.7-liter, naturally aspirated V10 engine. This motor produces 603 hp and 435 lb-ft and is mated to a 6-speed manual gearbox. It is one of the best sounding engines on the planet.

Is there a hero among us who can save this beauty?
