Final-year Guards Red Carrera GT with 10,152 km and recent service to be auctioned at Villa d’Este in May.
A rare and striking 2006 Porsche Carrera GT finished in Guards Red is set to headline Broad Arrow’s prestigious Concorso d’Eleganza Villa d’Este Auction on May 25, 2025. Listed as Lot 228, the final-year supercar is expected to fetch between €1.3 and €1.5 million.
Chassis number WP0ZZZ98Z6L000165, this Carrera GT stands out as one of the few finished in Guards Red—a color believed to represent just six percent of the model’s total production. With only 10,152 original kilometers and just three owners from new, the car represents one of the most pristine examples of Porsche’s revered analog supercar.
Powered by a 5.7-liter naturally aspirated V10 engine mated to a six-speed manual transmission, the Carrera GT delivers an uncompromised, electronics-free driving experience rooted in Porsche’s motorsport pedigree. The engine’s origins trace back to a shelved Le Mans prototype program and were ultimately repurposed for the production of the Carrera GT—earning it a reputation as one of the most thrilling driver’s cars ever built.
This specific example received a €20,000 engine-out service at Porsche Zentrum Aachen in preparation for sale, which included a new crankshaft seal, brake fluid replacement, and new Michelin Pilot Super Sport N-spec tires. It also benefits from a recent APA3 suspension recall campaign, ensuring it remains in top mechanical condition.
Inside, the car is optioned with carbon fiber XT bucket seats, a Becker Porsche Online Pro CD system with BOSE, and air conditioning, making it both performance-focused and driver-friendly. The elegant Ascot Brown and Black leather interior further complements the bold Guards Red exterior.
Offered with a German Fahrzeugbrief and confirmation of EU taxes paid, this meticulously maintained Carrera GT offers collectors a rare opportunity to acquire one of the last true analog supercars in a standout specification.
