The 66,000 Mile Carrera GT // Taming The Beast! | SCD Driven

High mileage Carrera GT's are a rare sight, especially 66,000 mile cars, so when this one came up for sale at the Octane Collection recently we had to have a drive!!
We took to the slippery roads of peak district in less than ideal conditions with SCD member and Porsche fanatic Charles, to see if he could tame the beast and whether Carrera GT really deserves its notorious reputation.
This car is currently for sale at £400k!

The guy who owned and put all those miles on that car is a real hero, kudos to you Sir!

[@scd]

He is! Thanks for watching

[@jsiszero]

Knocked off $30K the purchase price

There was footage of it when he first bought it, with missing panels and being drifted around the field.

MORE of him. He's not shy about the camera, he knows what he's talking about, and he's clearly passionate. Brilliant fella. More of him, please.

[@scd]

Agreed! You’ll see a video we did with his yellow F40 if you look back on our channel. Filmed it all in one take too

[@Platypus_Warrior]

Certainly a top 10 best car of all time

Definitely! For so many reasons

Absolutely, one of a kind. Definitely in my lottery win fantasy car garage

One word for the owner: LEGEND!!! You are my hero and I think Every car guy’s hero to.

[@scd]

I think we all agree with that statement

[@CJAEY]

This car has aged better than any other modern supercar

[@scd]

It’s timeless imo

[@KeenanStyles]

Its definitely aged way better than the Enzo and SLR but then again I never really found the Enzo to be attractive even when it was new

[@hendeeze]

except for that ugly ass steering wheel.

[@umaxi96]

Still looks beautiful. I still remember first time it started up next to me and my ears almost flew away! It has always been my favorite car when i was younger!

[@Orcawhale1]

Except it really hasn't. If you park it next to a new Porsche 992, it's very clear how dated the car actully is. Even more so if you look at the back with those exhaust pipes. And interior wise, it's also quite apperent, especially if you ever been in a 996 of the same era. The buttons for instance are quite plastic feeling, unlike the more solid button feel on the 991 or new 992. But it still looks and sounds great, which i reckon is the most important aspects of owning one of these cars.

[@barondegil1]

My absolute favorite! I believe that this car will go down in world history as one of most fascinating and interesting cars in general. He never gets old. Incredible charisma, technique and sound! Thanks for great video!

[@scd]

Andrej Esaul thanks for watching and commenting! Agreed, a legendary car and one you really have to treat with respect or it’ll bite, and in the same breath it’s so rewarding. The engine is sublime

[@barondegil1]

@TheSUPERCARDRIVER, i agree, a supercar should be like that. To enjoy his curbing, learning his character, and not the performance figures, as in modern "hypercars".

[@papasmurf986]

So true...I think it was a bit underappreciated when it was in production as it felt like the ferrari enzo and later bugatti veyron got more attention as people were fascinated with the design and tech in those cars. The CGT was always a bit simpler and primal...probably more like the revered ferrari F40 than the later cars ferrari produced to succeed the F40. It really seems to have finally gained the recognition and appreciation it deserves the past 5 years or so as one of the best supercars ever produced. Even if the performance, looks, design, etc, did not live up to the hype, the sound of that engine (and it truthfully sounds best just as it came from the factory, not straight piped) has had me hooked since day one. The only thing close would be the LFA but I still think the CGT has the best noise.

Favourite car! some journalists are saying on modern tyres these have become much more manageable, is this now the case? Wish the world would stop being so milage sensitive and you actually saw cgt or other such cars muddy and used...love it 💪

[@scd]

This is on the more modern Michelin’s and yes that’s right, they’re meant to more useable on the newer rubber. Must say it was rather pleasurable to drive this car as intended and get it all muddy!

[@akerr911]

Ask Akerr thank you buddy! Kind of you to say so! We have some mega content scheduled for the next few months.. including 360CS, Viper ACR, CCXR Edition! Thanks for commenting

[@Jbarazi1]

Yes, the second generation Michelin’s make a night and day difference. The car is now much more predictable at the limit. Loss of traction is much more progressive than on the tyres with which new cars were delivered.

Would love to see (and hear) any other footage you have.

[@rod928s4]

Thank you for this perfectly filmed and wonderfully narrated video, Charles!! I wish I could express to you how terrific it is to see a CGT being driven, enjoyed and having the mileage to prove it!! You certainly made it clear how much fun it was to have that lovely V10 gulp in that cool, damp English countryside air and turn it into real-world driving and auditory bliss by a TRUE Porsche enthusiast, not just collector. You made a dreary winter day here in southern Ontario much better!
