Porsche Carrera 6 (1966) - the sophisticated racing sports car and Targa Florio winner

December 30, 2012 — Bruno von Rotz 65

Porsche built a series of 50 identical racing cars, called the Carrera 6 or 906, for the 1966 one-make world championship. 650 kg, 210 hp, 280 km/h, less than one meter high. The car was successful all over the world and won the Targa Florio in 1966. Private drivers from many nations used the fast flounder for years to come, winning hill climbs, class victories and championships. Today, the vehicles are sought-after rarities and change hands for high six-figure sums. Our report summarizes the development, the characteristics of the cars and the racing successes and also lists the chassis numbers in full. Many pictures and contemporary documents round off the report.

The Porsche Carrera 6 was a major step forward for Porsche, bringing the factory closer to the Ferraris and Fords and can be seen as a straightforward forerunner of the 917. "hobby" was there when the first Porsche Carrera 6 rolled off the production line. With a tubular frame, it now had the rigidity required for heavy-duty use.
