When the Porsche 904 was first presented at Solitude Castle in Stuttgart in 1963 to compete in the GT class of the sports car championship, the initial plan was to build the minimum number of 100 vehicles required by the FIA for successful homologation and to offer them not only as racing cars but also with road approval in order to achieve this number of units.

Porsche 901: The roots of a legend

The Porsche 901, forerunner of the legendary 911, is the subject of a book by Jürgen Lewandowski that sheds light on the roots of this automotive legend. The book looks at the development of the 901, which was intended as the successor to the 356 but was quickly renamed the 911 due to a trademark dispute with Peugeot. It also includes the story of an extraordinary discovery, a 901 barn find from California, whose restoration is documented in detail.
