Carrera GT Birth
The Carrera GT was a bit of a result of what resulted from some formula one engineering. Unlike usually, where they have always had 6 cylinder motors, they went with a ten cylinder naturally aspirated car, after considering the motor for F1. As the supercars as of late, it has elements such as carbon fibre in the frame for max weight reduction. These things broke 130 mph in the 1320 and left a mark on just about every track they graced.
