Behold: the 1964 Porsche 904 Carrera GTS – the company’s last true dual purpose road’race car, introduced the same year as the also legendary 911.
Combining a lightweight fibreglass shell with the ultimate iteration of the 180bhp four-cam, four-cylinder Type 587/3 engine, the 904 was quite the track monster in its day (and for several more days after that).
This car, originally silver when it was sold to Italian industrialist and driver Ernesto Prinoth, made its way to the US where it received a ‘California restoration’ (ie. a slightly more comfortable interior and a red paint job).
Currently accepting bids. NB: Robert Redford’s green 904 GTS was on the market for over €1.2 million in 2018.
