California-based specialist Canepa has revealed its first-ever Porsche Carrera GT Sport Canepa at Amelia Island. It’s a restored and upgraded version of the iconic V10 supercar from the early 2000s.
The Carrera GT SC gets subtle cosmetic modifications and upgrades that improve driveability. The car is painted in Liquid Metal Green, a colour option that was never offered by Porsche on the Carrera GT. The interior is trimmed in cream leather and Alcantara. The air intakes and engine mesh are painted in body colour.
The car also has matte carbon in the engine bay, carbon fibre roll hoops, anodised black wheel centre locks and gloss black painted headlight bezels and exhaust surrounds.
Tucked away under the bodywork is an updated KW suspension with an integrated lift kit and an upgraded exhaust system for better sound and power, as well as a new clutch for better longevity and driving.
The creators haven’t shared the exact technical details of the Carrera GT Sport Canepa. Hence, it’s unclear how some of these modifications have affected the performance of the 5.7-liter naturally aspirated V10 engine.
The Carrera GT SC is likely to be produced in limited numbers. While the exact number hasn’t been provided, Canepa says that a second car is in the works.
