The king of racing tracks of the early 60s is up for auction in Paris
If you are interested in cars that conquered race tracks in the past, then I am sure that this news will attract your attention. It was simply impossible not to write about this glorified Porsche 904 GTS. At one time, he won prizes in prestigious competitions.

Now, the Porsche 904 GTS is an RM Sotheby's auction lot that could grace anyone's collection. And the amount expected by the seller is quite high - for the 1964 Porsche 904 GTS, they plan to fetch about 2 million dollars.

What makes this model impressive besides the price? The Porsche 904 GTS is the first model in the family of light racing sports cars of the German brand with a light streamlined fiberglass body. The weight of this car is only 655 kg. The Porsche 904 GTS can reach a speed of up to 260 km/h and accelerate to 100 km/h in 6 seconds.
Such sports cars were once called the kings of racing tracks in the early 60s. They participated in competitions in Le Mans, Sebring, and the most famous was the victory in the Italian Targa Florio rally.

In total, about 120 such coupes were created. This particular car was commissioned by the German driver Udo Schulz, who won 10 races between 1964 and 1966.

Unfortunately, this Porsche 904 GTS got into an accident in one of the races. However, it was restored, which made it possible to please more than one collector.
