Porsche Carrera GT "most successful high-performance sports car of all time"

Porsche announced today that it has delivered the 1,111th Carrera GT to a customer in the United Arab Emirates. According to Porsche, this milestone makes the Carrera GT "the most successful high-performance sports car of all time."

Not only has the Carrera GT been a successful "halo car" for the German marque, but Porsche chief executive Wendelin Wiedeking said, "...Porsche has made money with the Carrera GT. In this respect, this sports car has also been an economic success for our company, as expected."

Production of the supercar winds up in April 2006. By the way, if you're thinking of a last minute purchase before they're all gone, the U.S. market MSRP is $440,000.
