A Porsche Carrera GT kept by the same driver since new sold at Artcurial's Automobiles sur les Champs auction in Paris on 25 October 2026. The post-sale report published by Galerie Automobile puts the hammer price at €2.25 million, before auction fees. That places the result within Artcurial's pre-sale estimate of €1.9 million to €2.5 million.
The car was catalogued as a 2006 Carrera GT, although the auction records say it was built in November 2004 and delivered to its first owner in late 2005. The French collector acquired it through the Porsche dealer in Francorchamps, Belgium. Its chassis number is WP0ZZZ98Z5L000112, and the number 440 engraved on the centre console identifies its place in the 1,270-car Carrera GT production run.
An unusually complete history
By the time it came to auction, the odometer showed just 7,300 kilometres. The car retains its GT Silver Metallic finish and Terracotta leather interior, along with height-adjustable XT bucket seats and the matching optional Ascot leather luggage designed for the model. It was accompanied by service records, invoices, manuals and an expert assessment.
The extensive paperwork includes a striking bill. In May 2026, Porsche Vélizy carried out a major service costing €71,852. The work included replacing the shock absorbers, alternator, starter motor and camshafts. According to the auction catalogue, the clutch needed only cleaning. An earlier entry documents a visit to Porsche Stuttgart in April 2012, when the car had covered 6,790 kilometres.
The original owner also had experience with demanding machinery. He competed in the Dakar Rally on several occasions and won the 2008 Rally of Tunisia in a Schlesser buggy. Despite that motorsport background, his Carrera GT accumulated remarkably little road mileage over two decades.
Porsche's mid-engined supercar combines a naturally aspirated 5.7-litre V10 with a six-speed manual transmission, a layout that has become increasingly unusual among cars occupying the highest reaches of the collector market. For this example, the stronger distinction is provenance: one long-term owner, largely preserved original specification, the factory luggage and an unusually detailed maintenance trail.
Artcurial's catalogue confirms the car's identity and the auction house now marks the lot as sold. The €2.25 million figure is the hammer price reported by Galerie Automobile, rather than an Artcurial-published buyer's total including fees.
