"The Porsche 904 Carrera GTS holds a rare and revered place in automotive history - a car that not only marked Porsche's transition into mid-engine sports engineering but also laid the groundwork for the company's most celebrated endurance racers, including the 906, 908, and the immortal 917. Its minimalist design, lightweight construction, and sheer mechanical purity made it a motorsport icon. But with only a little over 100 units ever built - and just three fitted with Porsche's formidable flat-eight engine - the 904 has long remained a dream reserved for collectors and historians."
"Enter the Aerfal AE94: a modern recreation that doesn't simply pay tribute to the original, but reimagines it for the present. Built upon the proven foundation of the Porsche 914 platform, the AE94 merges historical inspiration with contemporary performance, creating a restomod that captures the raw spirit of 1960s endurance racing while bringing the engineering precision of today's world."
"Honoring Heritage Through Engineering The original Porsche 904 Carrera GTS debuted in 1964, designed by Ferdinand Alexander "Butzi" Porsche, the same visionary behind the 911. The 904 was revolutionary - one of the first Porsches to use a fiberglass body bonded to its steel chassis for reduced weight. Its aerodynamic form and low-slung stance embodied the perfect balance between form and function, a philosophy that defined Porsche's racing identity for decades."
The Porsche 904 Carrera GTS marked Porsche's transition into mid-engine sports engineering and influenced later endurance racers such as the 906, 908, and 917. The 904 combined minimalist design, lightweight construction, and mechanical purity to become a motorsport icon. Only a little over 100 units were built, with just three fitted with the flat-eight engine, making the model exceptionally rare. The Aerfal AE94 reinterprets that heritage as a modern recreation built on the Porsche 914 platform. The AE94 merges historical inspiration with contemporary performance, and re-engineers the platform for a new powertrain, upgraded suspension, and modern safety standards.
