Vehicle Description
Accompanied by a printed report listing its original factory data,
this almost otherworldly Carrera GT was built during February 2005,
priced at a heady $452,989 new. One of the 644 examples sold new to
the United States during the entire production run spanning
2004-06, it was originally finished in black. However, while the
car was undamaged and had undergone limited use with only an
approximate 3,300 miles from new, the current owner/collector
entrusted well-known supercar expert Jamie Cummings, proprietor of
Karosserie in Wayne, PA, to elevate the car's presentation well
beyond its already stellar factory-original standards. Karosserie
is the only factory-certified body and paint shop for Pagani
Automobili, in addition to enjoying factory certifications from
Ferrari, Lamborghini, McLaren and Porsche. All work was performed
over a three-month timeframe at Karosserie with an "open checkbook"
approach. In preparation for a full color change, the car was
carefully stripped to the central carbon-fiber "tub," with
attention paid to the Carrera GT's body surfaces and intricate
details. The owner's vision demanded that the work be performed to
standards the factory would have used, given the technologies and
knowledge base now available today. The concours-quality paint
finish, including the matching brake calipers, is a bespoke PPG Red
hue, chosen by the Carrera GT's owner only after many samples were
methodically scrutinized and eliminated. Furthering the
uncompromising attention lavished on the car, all single-use rubber
body seals were replaced with new items in the process, along with
the windshield, which had just one minor, yet visible,
imperfection. Another welcome update applied to this Carrera GT
involved the painstaking "cost-no-object" conversion of the
factory-original hydraulic rear spoiler actuators in favor of a
specially engineered electrical system, ensuring correct deployment
and symmetry at all times. The original hydraulic system is
included with sale of the Carrera GT. Also accompanying this
stunning supercar are both keys and the full complement of
never-used fitted luggage, which includes a Porsche wardrobe duffel
bag, roof cover, satchel and accessory bag. Finishing touches
include a fresh service, installation of a new battery and fitment
of the last set of factory-specified, date-current tires known
available for the car in the United States. 3,310 miles (mileage
