The Porsche 904 Carrera GTS, introduced in 1964, is an iconic mid-engine sports car that bridged the gap between Porsche’s road cars and its racing prototypes. Designed by Ferdinand “Butzi” Porsche, the 904 featured a sleek, lightweight fiberglass body over a steel frame—an innovative move for its time—resulting in exceptional handling and performance. Powered initially by a 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine producing 180 hp, later models were equipped with six-cylinder or eight-cylinder engines for even more performance. The 904 Carrera GTS achieved significant motorsport success, including class victories at the Targa Florio and 24 Hours of Le Mans, cementing its legacy as one of Porsche’s greatest race cars. Its combination of striking design and motorsport pedigree makes it a highly coveted classic today.
