The Porsche 904 Porsche 904 , also known as the Carrera GTS, is a sports car produced by Porsche in the early 1960s. It was primarily designed for motor racing, but was also built in limited numbers for road use to meet homologation requirements in various classes of racing. The Porsche 904 was built between 1963 and 1965, with a total production run of around 120 units. The first examples were powered by a 2.0-litre Porsche four-cylinder engine. Some special models were powered by larger engines such as a 6-cylinder or even an 8-cylinder engine, giving them superior racing performance. Due to its light weight, the car offered excellent speed and acceleration. The Porsche 904 was capable of reaching a top speed of nearly 260 km/h, which was impressive at the time. The Porsche 904 is considered one of the legendary cars in Porsche history, combining powerful performance with elegant design, and was a turning point in the company's move towards high-performance sports cars that compete in races. #Anis_Maaouia

The BMW M1 Procar Championship and Jaguar Intercontinental Challenge are sainted among enthusiasts, but some one-make series do go very much under-appreciated. #goodwood #goodwoodelevenses The Goodwood Group #autos #autosport #automotive #automotiveindustry #automotiveinnovation #cars #racing #sports #classiccar #classiccars #motorracing #motorsport

The Porsche 911 Carrera RS 2.7 was, and still is, unique. Originally conceived as a race car, this classic only became available to general road users in 1972, thrilling motoring enthusiasts. https://lnkd.in/eA4uPNYX #porsche911 #porsche #sportscar

Japanese monster - the original Nissan R390 GT1 road car! A real one among us. This was the road car built to meet the requirements in order to build and enter the racing version at Le Mans. This racing version was the R390 GT1. Up until that point, Nissan had launched GTRs to race at Le Mans. But as regulations began to change in the series, Porsche took advantage of a gap in the poorly written requirements that ultimately led them to pioneer GT1. Mercedes followed the CLK GTR and McLaren made a Longtail variant of their dominant F1 GTR. So the Nissan GTRs simply weren't fast enough to compete in the class anymore. So the R390 GT1 enters the cat. Nissan/Nismo developed the car in partnership with TWR (Tom Walkinshaw Racing), who you may know from projects such as the Jaguar XJR-15 and XJ220S TWR - among many others. It used an updated version of the VRH35 bwin-turbo aluminum 3.5L V8 taken out of the Nissan R89C, which was tuned to Le Mans specifications, producing 641 hp. This was mated to an Xtrac 6-speed sequential transmission. The entire package came in at just north of 1000 kgs, or about 2200 pounds. The road car seen here is the basis of the GT1 car. It was developed at the Nissan technical center in Atsugi, Japan and featured the same engine as the race car, but was boosted to 550 hp for the road. That was still good for a 3.3 second 0-60 time and a top speed of 220 km/h, which at the time put it behind only the McLaren F1 and the TVR Speed 12. To date, it is one of the fastest cars Japan has ever produced. #nissan #r390 #supercar #performance #speed #japan 🇯🇵 #Anis_Maaouia

From the land of the rising sun - the Nissan R390 GT1 road car! This R390 GT1 road car was painted red with a shorter rear section, but it was reworked the following year into what you see now.

Up until that point, Nissan had launched GTRs to race at Le Mans.

🔱 1956 Maserati 300 S Between 1955 and 1959, they built twenty-six 300S Maserati cars with three versions of increasing sophistication. By then, Maserati had a car competitive with the best sports racing cars of its class and for many drivers, such as Stirling Moss, they considered it a favorite. Straight-six racing engines were popular with Maserati from the early 1950s. There was a success in the two-liter class with the A6GCS double overhead cam engines and the 300S engine was developed after successes with the identically engine-equipped 250F Grand Prix racing car. By increasing the stroke, the Maserati company now had a 240 horsepower engine (at 7200 RPM). Maserati then experimented with engines increasing from 2.8 liters to a final version, a 3-liter powerhouse capable of 260 horsepower at 6500 RPM. #Anis_Maaouia
