My Dream Recommission for $2M Porsche Carrera GT!

Let's see this Porsche Carrera GT as you've never seen one before! I'm at Graham Rahal Performance in Indianapolis to find out their full recommissioning process with the iconic V10 supercar, and a complete tour with Graham around the workshops. This is the dream!
The vast majority of Carrera GTs were painted silver with very few options available, unlike the choices on offer to customers of the latest and greatest. As a result, there's a huge interest from people such as myself to go down the path of creating something bespoke and unique as you could with CCX options from Porsche Exclusive Manufacturer.
In steps Graham Rahal's team to transform driver-Carrera GTs into fully recommissioned vehicles, and in the case of the car we're looking at today, a perfect match to his personal Signal Yellow Singer. It's rare to have a full look under the skin of the car, but Graham guides us on a full tour of the work that's being done to ensure that this car is ready for many more decades of driving, as their second full car to be complete.
There's no secret that the Porsche Carrera GT is very much on my wish list for the future, and should I ever be fortunate enough to add one to the Shmeemobiles, I will certainly be looking for a driver car with a few miles, which I could use to build up into my exact spec and details.
Thanks to Graham and the team for hosting my visit, fascinating to see and I'm sure it won't be the last time!

I know 275k is a hell of a lot of money to the vast majority of people but to get basically a brand new CGT for 275k (+ cost of the car) is a steal in my mind I really though this was going to be something crazy like $1+ million.

I always like it when someone delivers a service and they do it as well for you as they would for their perfectionist selves. 'Treat others the way you like to be treated'... or rather 'treat my car the way you would want yours treated'. That's refreshing when usually they're about 'minimum effort, maximum squeeze'.

@charliejg Год назад

What an amazing place. I love Graham's attitude about quality. Fantastic. BTW, not sure if he knows, but a friend of mine owns a car that belonged to Graham. It's a Honda NSX. Yes, it's badged Honda. It's a beautiful car that is now in Pennsylvania and being very well cared for by someone with the same love for cars. Very cool video!!! I'm also guessing this was a big hint at a new vehicle for you stable.

@chesspiece81 Год назад

Everything they discussed all in for only $275k? That is extremely impressive! I mean you could go after a high mileage less than perfect example and have it completely done to your color specs, modifications, with everything serviced, reconditioned or replaced for brand new parts. This seriously might be the best super/hyper car bargain for one of the best cars ever made. Obviously it would have to be straight piped with no cats, tuned to get as much power from the engine as possible. Then painted a slightly lighter version of dark blue metallic, with black or a charcoal leather and tartan style blue inserts for the seats with a blue and white stitch. Some custom smoked clear with polished barrel HRE wheels, calipers done in a lighter blue from the seat insert with either white or etched lettering on the brakes. Then everything just polished and put back to as new and gorgeous. Incredible work Graham, the work looks to speak for itself and I hope you have all the success and future business you can handle.
