Porsche not only restores its classic cars, but is also able to return them to a “zero kilometer” condition as if they had never been used. Through the Sonderwunsch Special Order Department, a Porsche Carrera GT has received a complete restoration after 20 years of production, returning to officially documented factory condition.
After two decades… Porsche returns the Carrera GT to “zero kilometer” status
Complete disassembly and mechanical rebirth
These projects are known within Porsche as “Factory Re-Commission,” where the vehicle is completely disassembled piece by piece, then reassembled to original factory specifications. The result? Car in almost identical mechanical condition as it was in 2005.
The car has already been subjected Cayenne G.T.S The first generation with a rare manual transmission for a similar process, to be found in Porsche Symbols Festival 2025 Which was held last month in Dubai, and now it is the turn of the supercar with the legendary V10 engine, to return in all its engineering glory.
Not as it came out of the factory… but more beautiful!
Although the mechanical condition has returned to zero, the exterior appearance is not what it was two decades ago. The owner, Victor Gomez, requested that the color of the Porsche Carrera GT be changed from the original silver to a racing livery inspired by the 1970 Le Mans-winning Porsche 917.
The car bears the number 23, just like the racing car that the two legends drove; Hans Hermann and Richard Atwood, in the colors of the famous Austrian city of Salzburg. The paint was executed by hand with amazing precision, with a clear protective layer added because the owner… intends to actually drive it!
Yes, this Carrera GT will not be locked in an air-conditioned garage waiting for its price to rise, but will breathe the road for what it was built to do.
Sporty exterior details with a modern touch
To increase the aggressive character, the car received:
- Matte black carbon accents
- The hood vents are anodized in black
- Black rims enhance the contrast with the red and white
- Racing number 23 on the chassis
A unique interior unlike any other Carrera GT

- The drummers
- Doors
- Steering wheel
- Center console
Even the front luggage compartment gets the same touch, with a matching luggage set. Porsche also used black fabric taken from a car Porsche 918 Spyder In some details, with the use of matte carbon in the seat structures, the instrument panel, and the air conditioning vents.

When launched:
- Price in Germany: 452,690 euros
- Price in America: 440,000 US dollars
As for the cost of returning this copy to “zero kilometer” condition? Porsche refused to disclose, but what is certain is that it cost an astronomical figure.
The owner summarizes the story with honest words
“Now I own a Porsche Carrera GT in completely new condition, with zero kilometers, and with an exterior and interior design that reflects my personal taste.”
