Why 6.9: An NA V10, a gated manual and no electronic net — the most analog supercar of its century. Seven-figure values now keep most of them asleep.

The long version
At current money a Carrera GT buyer is choosing a museum piece with a title, and most treat it that way: the ceramic clutch and total absence of stability control make a fender-bender a six-figure lesson, so insurance-company logic wins over impulse. A determined minority still drive it the way Porsche intended, which is presumably why it has not been demoted to pure art object. Garage Queen fits the collection; F1 DNA nods to the discarded Le Mans program that donated the engine. Values have roughly quadrupled since the mid-2000s trough, and that kind of chart is what keeps keys in a drawer.
