what was the Head of State doing to it to need a new clutch so soon?
Gorgeous though.

Exterior has aged very well, hasn't it? The interior in the red looks good (saw a few with the grey interior....on a supercar?!?)

On a vaguely related note I saw the new Boxster (981?) in the flesh recently in a very similar silver, and thought it bore more than a passing resemblance to the front of the CG. Definitely a good thing smile

981 does share some styling cues with CGT - probably the reason why the 981 is getting a lot of well-deserved attention too!


Just briefly looking at where prices are currently at with the CGT, i actually think this car is pretty cheap. Do you think?


New clutch at such low-miles has got to be uncommon shirley!!

Isn't this one of the cars that was impounded from a Dictator's collection?

I was going to say it looks just like SFO's 981.

CGT values are only going to go up once the 918 is released... Watch this space.

Looks lovely, does anyone know if these suffer from bore scoring and engines blowing up?

The clutch is potentially very durable, mine is on the original and around 35% worn at 30k miles.

I've also heard of a car being driven onto a transporter that during the process wrecked its clutch.

You need to refrain from slipping the clutch at all costs and at slow speed manoeuvres let the ECU anti stall take care of moving off from a standing start.

As a mate who has owned one of the first since new said. It is the slowest car away from the lights but once the clutch is engaged it is awesome. My view at the moment is that they can all be bought for just sub £300K. What I struggle to understand is the price of a Zonda or an Enzo in comparison. IMO the CGT is the better car. Certainly build quality over the Enzo and fussiness of the Zonda. If I had that much loose change at this moment in time I would buy a 993GT2 with K24's in a blink of an eye.
