Porsche Carrera GT production ends

Production of the legendary $440,000 Porsche Carrera GT ended today (Saturday, May 6) at the Porsche plant Leipzig, Germany. Production began in September, 2003. A total of 1,270 units were built -- 27 percent higher than the planned 1,000 units. A reported 53 percent of the cars went to the United States, 12 percent to Germany, and 7 percent to the United Arab Emirates. Porsche has not announced any plans for a follow-up to the 612 horsepower supercar. To commemorate the Carrera GT, we've got a great video after the jump from those crazy Brits at Top Gear...
