Here Are All The Porsche Carrera GT's Unusual Features

Doug DeMuro takes a look at the Carrera GT, something he dubs as the 'single greatest car ever made'. Just like his own Viper though, it has a few interesting quirks...

While the electronically-operated spoiler is something I was already aware of, there are a few aspects of the Carrera GT that come as news to me. Did you have any idea that little door compartment existed, or that the wheel nuts were colour coded?

The GT is however completely trumped in the weirdness stakes by DeMuro’s own Dodge Viper GTS. Find out why here.

Doug DeMuro thank you. Someone that can actually pronounce Porsche properly. One of my biggest pet hates are people that pronounce it as ‘porsh’. Keep up the good work, your reviews contain some of the insight most don’t give.

He was a Porsche employee before he switched to full time automotive journalist. I suspect that the company does… bad things… to employees who can’t say it properly.

In UK you’d be looked at like some kind of nonce for calling it porsha. Just say porsh like everyone else.

Anybody that knows about Porsche’s history will know it’s actually the surname of the founder, so there shouldn’t really be any other way of saying it.

This is the only Doug Demuro video I actually enjoyed because it’s not just him complaining about a nice car.

I was more surprised he didn’t advertise the dealership at the end then I was about the hidden door panels

I have a 1:18 Carrera GT and thought the wheel nuts’ different colours were a mistake from the toy factory. Seems like it actually is a mistake in my knowledge.

Yeah, but it’s not the car’s fault for the unfortunate events that day.
