(from Edo Competition Press Release)  A fiery passion that nobody can escape

Introduced at the Frankfurt International Motor Show two years ago, the Carrera GT was the undisputed highlight of the event.

Today, Carrera GT owners have the opportunity to make this expensive and rare Porsche even more sporting and exclusive than it already is.

This unbelievable excess of power and individuality is made by edo competition Motorsport

How much torque does the standard CGT have? It just looks strange when torque number is so small compared to power number IMO.

EDO tuned cars are always much more tasteful then other. I wouldn't get that huge rear spoiler though.

I wonder what the extra power does to the already tricky handling of the CGT?!

not one of my fav Porsche's and to be honest, I dont think cars such as this one need to be modified in anyway. They should be kept in thier stock forms!!
