The Porsche 904 Carrera GTS is a GT sportscar which was produced by Porsche in Germany in 1964 and 1965. This coupe, manufactured from 1963 to 1965, was street-legal under road traffic laws, allowing it to be driven not only on race tracks but also on public roads. It was sold as Carrera GTS, not under its internal development code 904, as Peugeot owned rights to such x0y numbers, and the Porsche 901 was renamed Porsche 911, too. The successor Porsche 906 was sold as Carrera 6 as it was road legal, too, while the later pure race cars 907, 908, 909 were not affected. Over 100 had to be produced to be homologated as Group 3 GT racing car for the 2 litre class. The car was used by the factory team in the Sports Car World Championship from 1964 to 1966. Additionally, numerous private teams raced the Porsche 904 in these international series as well as in national championships, such as the German Automobile Circuit Championship, specifically in the 2-liter GT class. The Porsche 904 achieved significant success, winning the 2-liter GT category in the Manufacturer's World Championship in 1964 and 1965, and it also won the prototype class in 1964.
