The Porsche 904 is an automobile which was produced by Porsche in Germany in 1963 and 1965. It was officially called Porsche Carrera GTS due to the same naming rights problem that required renaming the Porsche 901 to Porsche 911. The 904 debuted late in 1963, for the 1964 racing season, as a successor to the 718, which had been introduced in 1957. Porsche designed the GTS variant to compete in the FIA-GT class at various international racing events.
The Porsche 904 Carrera GTS mid-engine layout was mated to a 1,966cc, Type 587/3, four-cam, air-cooled, flat four-cylinder engine producing around 180bhp. At the time it was considered the most advanced four-cylinder engine ever designed and put into production.
