GTC60 Porsche 904/4 GTS

Introduced in 1964, the Porsche 904 GTS—also known as the Carrera GTS—marked a significant turning point in Porsche’s motorsport legacy. Designed by Ferdinand "Butzi" Porsche, the 904 combined sleek, aerodynamic styling with innovative engineering. While most of the production run featured four-cylinder engines, a small number were fitted with six- and even eight-cylinder units, giving rise to the 904/4, 904/6, and 904/8 variants. The 904/4 GTS was the original version and used the proven 2.0-liter, four-cylinder Type 587/3 engine—an advanced, complex unit with four overhead camshafts derived from Porsche’s Formula 1 program. Producing around 180 horsepower, it gave the car competitive performance in the under-2.0-liter GT class. The 904/4 was a favorite among privateers and factory teams alike due to its balance of handling, reliability, and aerodynamic efficiency. It was equally at home on tight, technical circuits as it was on high-speed endurance tracks. It found success not only in endurance races, but also in hillclimbs, rallying, and national championships throughout Europe and North America. By 1966, the 904 was gradually succeeded by the 906, but it remained competitive
