==In-game description==
"A masterpiece that brought great success to Porsche's GT race efforts in the 1960s."
Soon after its establishment in the 1950s, Porsche gained great fame in motorsports around the world with its 356 series models and genuine mid-engine racing cars derived from the 356, such as the 550 Spyder. 
One important milestone that followed in their footsteps was the Porsche Camera GTS that was born in 1963. It is also referred to as the 904 GTS from its development code name, and was a sportscar that was developed to meet the changes in the Sports Car World Championships regulations of its day. 
In the 1950s, the World Championship races were fought in low production, pure racing cars. But from the regulation revisions in 1961, its main event became the GT Class using mass production sportscars. And in order to compete in this GT Class, it was necessary to clear a homologation production count of 100 cars. 
The Porsche Carrera GTS was developed and produced using a ladder frame that was more suited for mass production sportscars. And in order to compete in this GT lass, it was necessary to clear a homologation production count of 100 cars. 
The Porsche Carrera GTS was developed and produced using a ladder frame that was more suited for mass production, that would then be covered by a light weight FRP body. For Porsche this was the first time utilizing this format. The car is also known for the low and beautiful styling by Ferdinand Alexander Porsche, the grandson of the founder Dr. Ferdinand Porsche. The engine mounted midship is an air cooled horizontally opposed 4 cylinder, but it was possible to mount a 6 cylinder or even an 8 cylinder for racing. 
The Porsche Camera GTS showed fantastic performance from its debut with wins in races like the Targa Florio, and even achieving class victories in endurance races at the Nürburgring and the Le Mans. It also succeeded in dominating the 1964 GT Class Championship.

Competing in the Targa Florio's GT2 class in April 1964, the Carrera GTS... Beat its rivals Ferrari, Alfa Romeo and Ford, and claimed a phenomenal overall victory! The drivers who made this possible were Antonio Pucci, from Italy, and Colin Davis, from England. In the same year, the Carrera GTS also won class victories at Sebring and Le Mans.

==Trivia==
*Although often referred to as the 904 (including in a section in Nissan's museum at Brand Central), it is officially named the Porsche Carrera GTS due to Porsche's trademark issues with Peugeot over model names in the "90x" nomenclature. This was also during a time where the Porsche 911 was originally going to be called the "Porsche 901".
**Strangely, this didn't seem to carry on to later Porsche models using the nomenclature, as Porsche has raced cars branded as the 906, 907, 908, and 909.
