A rare Porsche Carrera GT finished in a one-of-a-kind color has set a new benchmark for the model, selling for $6.7 million at auction and far surpassing the typical market value for the iconic supercar.
The record-setting sale took place during a recent Broad Arrow Auctions event, where the distinctive Carrera GT drew significant attention from collectors. While most examples of the early-2000s supercar currently trade in the range of $3 million to $3.5 million, rare configurations can command significantly higher prices, especially when they feature special factory specifications.
This particular Carrera GT stands out as one of just 19 examples built through Porsche’s Paint-to-Sample program, making it already uncommon among the limited-production model. Its rarity is further amplified by its unique exterior finish. The car is the only Carrera GT ever produced in Gulf Blue, a color widely associated with historic racing liveries and highly sought after by enthusiasts.
The striking sky-blue exterior is complemented by yellow brake calipers, creating a distinctive visual combination that immediately sets the car apart from more traditional Carrera GT finishes. Inside, the car continues its bespoke theme with Ascot Brown leather upholstery covering the cabin. The interior package also includes a matching luggage set designed specifically for the car.
Beyond its rare specification, the supercar also benefits from relatively low mileage. The odometer shows just 2,807 miles, suggesting limited use since it was originally delivered.
Like all Carrera GT models, the car is powered by a naturally aspirated 5.7-liter V10 engine. The high-revving powerplant produces 603 horsepower and 435 pound-feet of torque, delivering power to the rear wheels through a six-speed manual transmission. The analog driving experience and race-inspired engineering have helped cement the Carrera GT’s reputation as one of the most celebrated supercars of its era.
The record-breaking result underscores the continued demand for rare, highly specified collector cars, particularly when unique factory options and limited production intersect.
The sale also comes during a weekend when another Carrera GT variant has drawn attention among enthusiasts, highlighting the ongoing fascination with Porsche’s flagship supercar from the early 2000s.
