| The Porsche 904 was produced by Porsche in Germany in 1964 and 1965. It was officially called Porsche Carrera GTS. The 904 debuted late in 1963, for the 1964 racing season. Porsche designed the GTS variant to compete in the FIA-GT class. The street-legal version debuted in 1964 in order to comply with homologation regulations. Porsche produced a total of 106 904s. |  |
| The 904 is powered by the 1,966 cc (120 cu in) Type 587/3, four-cam flat four-cylinder engine producing 180hp through a five-speed transmission. The 904 was the first Porsche to use a ladder chassis and fibreglass body. The fibreglass body was bonded to its steel chassis for extra rigidity. A few factory race cars were fitted with a flat eight-cylinder power plant derived from the 1962 804 F1 car, upping power to 225 hp. |  |
