Porsche Carrera GT 9/2003-4/2006 The initial production plan was 1500 supercars, but a total of 1270 cars were produced in 2 years and 7 months (so approximately 2 cars a day). There are interesting differencies between the prototype and production model tech specs:   prototype production model Engine 5.5L V10 5.7L V10 Power 550 hp 612 hp Weight 1250 kg 1380 kg Weight-to-power ratio 2.27 kg/hp 2.25 kg/hp The reason for the differencies is probably that they couldn't produce car that light (1250 kg), so they had to raise the power, to get the same weight-to-power ratio.

It was rumoured that the Carrera GT was built because Porsche retired from car racing after 1998 season and they had the 1999 racing car already half-way engineered, so they turned this know-how into a street-legal Le Mans car.
