Final-year Porsche Carrera GT in rare Guards Red with just over 10,000 km heads to auction with €1.3–€1.5M estimate.
One of the rarest and most revered analog supercars of the 21st century is heading to auction at the 2025 Concorso d’Eleganza Villa d’Este, where Broad Arrow Auctions will offer a 2006 Porsche Carrera GT finished in ultra-rare Guards Red.
Slated as Lot 228 for the May 25 sale, this final-model-year example—number 1,183 of 1,270 produced—boasts just 10,152 kilometers (6,308 miles) from new and is estimated to fetch between €1.3 and €1.5 million.
Originally delivered to the U.K. market, this left-hand-drive Carrera GT stands out not only for its condition and provenance—with just three private owners—but also for its striking exterior. Guards Red is believed to account for just 6% of total production, making this example a rare visual departure from the more common GT Silver.
Underneath its bold finish lies Porsche’s legendary 5.7-liter naturally aspirated V10, derived from a shelved Le Mans prototype project. Paired with a six-speed manual transmission and a lightweight carbon fiber monocoque chassis, the Carrera GT is celebrated for its raw, electronics-free driving experience—a defining feature of what many consider the finest analog supercar of the 2000s.
Notable factory options on this car include XT carbon-fiber bucket seats, Becker Online Pro CD stereo with BOSE, and air conditioning—items Porsche listed as no-cost options to allow customers to tailor the GT’s performance-weight balance.
The car recently underwent a €20,000 major engine-out service at Porsche Zentrum Aachen, which included a crankshaft seal replacement, fresh N-Spec Michelin tires, and the completion of the APA3 suspension recall.
Accompanied by a German Fahrzeugbrief and confirmation of EU taxes paid, this meticulously maintained and exceptionally rare Carrera GT represents a golden opportunity for collectors seeking the pinnacle of analog performance.
