Legendary Porsche 904 GTS Road Racer Ready For Your Bid
Words by Carlo Brema / Photos by Gooding & Company
Designed by Ferdinand Porsche himself, the 904 Carrera GTS sees the light in the same year as the iconic 911, representing the perfect meeting point between a performing road car and a pure track weapon. In fact, it was the first Porsche to use a fiberglass bodywork which enshrines the great care in using avant-garde materials, especially for the time.
With a weight of just 650 kg and a great aerodynamic shape, the 904 Carrera GTS was able to take advantage of its 1,966 cc 4-cylinder Type 587/3 designed by Ernst Fuhrmann and capable of grounding 180 horsepower at 7,000 rpm through a mechanical 5-speed gearbox. The 904 GTS is not only a collector’s item, but a fundamental chapter in the history of the Porsche brand, a model which, also thanks to its over 300 international successes, has laid the foundations for the development of its heritage, among the most brilliant in the world. This exceptional specimen is at auction thanks to Gooding & Company specialists and we believe it can be yours with offers around 2.45 million dollars.
