The type 904 was the first Porsche sports racing car with the dynamics to vie for overall victory. In fact in its debut year of racing in 1964 it won its class at Sebring (running as a non-homologated prototype) and then, as an official GT car, the Targa Florio outright in the hands of Colin Davis and Antonio Pucci - an amazing feat against bigger-engined GTOs and Cobras.
