Porsche 904

The 904, its full name "Porsche 904 Carrera GTS", was a special Porsche model in many ways. Due to Ferdinand Porsche's unique design, the sports car is affectionately called "Butzi's masterpiece" and many still count it among the most appealing road racing cars ever.
In 1963 the Porsche 904 was brought to life in a record-breaking six months - including the time for development. And this is just one of the reasons that made the car a flagship of innovation.

For the homologation as a racing car, about 100 Porsche 904 were licensed as road vehicles and sold to private customers. The demand was so strong that the car soon became a highly exclusive rarity. The unique look of the Porsche design and the combination of technical innovations and low production costs added to the cult status of the Porsche 904 that lasts to the present day.

Texts by Jürgen Lewandowski and photos by Stefan Bogner, two renowned Porsche experts, build a monument to the Carrera GTS to make it come out of the shadows of its famous brothers. Immerse yourself in a fascinating chapter of Porsche history!

Porsche 904: Die komplette Dokumentation - Entwicklung, Evolution, Fahrzeughistorie

The 904 model was presented in 1963 as the first Porsche with a plastic body and, with the new GT regulations that came into force in 1964, became one of the most successful racing vehicles from the Zuffenhausen-based company.
Appearance, technology and countless victories on racetracks around the world make the only 120 Porsche 904s produced today coveted and extremely expensive classics.

Reason enough for Jürgen Barth, as Le Mans winner and former Porsche customer sport coordinator, to present a fascinating documentation of every single Porsche 904. For Porsche enthusiasts, this book is a real treasure trove of the highest brand and motorsport history significance.
