Porsche Rebuilds 2005 Carrera GT to Zero‑Kilometre Spec in Salzburg 917 Livery

Owner Victor Gómez plans regular road use in Puerto Rico, prompting Porsche to apply protective film over the hand‑painted finish.

Overview

  • Porsche completed the project through its Sonderwunsch Factory Re‑Commission program, returning the supercar to factory‑new condition.
  • The restoration involved a full disassembly, recoating of carbon‑fibre components, and a complete rebuild of the 5.7‑litre naturally aspirated V10.
  • The exterior features a hand‑painted Indian Red and white Salzburg design with number 23, referencing the 1970 Le Mans‑winning Porsche 917 of Richard Attwood and Hans Herrmann.
  • The cabin was retrimmed in Indian Red Alcantara across major surfaces with matte carbon accents and includes refinished black wheels to match the updated look.
  • The donor was Gómez’s originally silver 2005 Carrera GT, now delivered with zero kilometres on the odometer and intended for frequent driving rather than static display.
