As a product of the Unseen series of design studies, Porsche dropped the 904 Living Legend concept from 2013 on us like a bomb. Porsche's objective was to build a compact mid-engined coupe that weighed less than 900 kg (1,984 lbs).
The most fitting propulsion for the Porsche 904 Living Legend, according to Porsche, is a high-revving V2 motorcycle motor, preserving the vibe around the never-before-seen design.
The outcome is a mid-engined coupe that emanates natural beauty, thanks to its sleek lines and sensual curves, which give it a supercar-like attitude. When the Porsche 904, or Carrera GTS as it was formally known, was introduced in 1963, it was the replacement for the 718.
Porsche had to produce 100 road vehicles to homologate their compact sports car, therefore it was the street-legal counterpart of the racing car. The 904 was finally offered in 106 instances, with market demand significantly surpassing availability.
