The Porsche 904 Carrera GTS has a very interesting history.
It debuted in 1963 as the 718 model’s replacement. It was created to take part
in a variety of international racing competitions in the FIA-GT class. The
Porsche 904 Carrera GTS was one of the first Porsches to use a fiberglass body
for weight reduction, and it won several races, including the Targa Florio in
1964.
