The 904 was produced because Porsche needed a new instrument to continue winning two-liter Grand Touring Championship races for the 1964 season. Regulations dictated a 100 unit minimum production. This worried Porsche since never before had the factory sold more than 35 or so of any single race car. Therefore, the 904 was designed to be streetable as well.
The 904 was designed under the watchful eye of Porsche's eldest son Butzi. The fiberglass body was bonded directly to the sheet metal chassis side rails. Other designers were inspired by this design and there are instances where it was copied on other vehicles.
The car is powered by a two-liter (1966 cc) flat-four cylinder engine mounted midship developing 180 horsepower.
Porsche 904s took on Ford, Ferrari and Abarth at the Targa Florio and finished one-two in the GT class. At Le Mans, while five of a dozen Ferraris retired, Porsche's record with the 904 was five entries and five finishers in the top twelve.
