After having retired from F1<\/strong> at the end of the 1962<\/strong> season, Porsche<\/strong> focused again on sportscar<\/strong> racing. The 904<\/strong> debuted late in 1963,<\/strong> for the 1964 racing season, as a successor to the 718, which had been introduced in 1957. Porsche designed the GTS variant to compete in the FIA-GT<\/strong> class at various international racing events. The street-legal version debuted in 1964 in order to comply with Group 3 Appendix J homologation regulations requiring a certain number of road-going variants be sold by the factory. Porsche produced 106 904s at four or five a day with a list price of US$7245<\/strong> (FOB Stuttgart<\/strong>). Orders far exceeded the one hundred car requirement to satisfy homologation rules and more cars could readily have been sold. The 904 marked the beginning of a series of sportscars that culminated in the mighty 917.<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" After having retired from F1 at the end of the 1962 season, Porsche focused again on sportscar racing.
