PORSCHE 904 CARRERA GTS TRIBUTE CAR

 Available Fall 2010

The Specialty Auto-Sports (SAS) 904 Carrera GTS tribute is designed and built as a refined street sports car with modern amenities.  Other manufacturers of 904 replicas strive to retain most, if not all, of the race track features attributable to the original racing Porsche 904.  SAS President Steve Lawing believes that many owners would prefer a correct looking version of this memorable car in a more sophisticated form just as they do in our famous SAS 356A Speedsters, Cabriolets, and Coupes.

Available 904 Replicas

Replicas of the 904 are currently being produced by a number of companies including Martin and Walker in the UK, and Beck and Thunder Ranch in the US.  For those who prefer to have a race track car with the associated body alterations, noise, and harsh ride characteristics they should visit these folks.

 

Our Approach

If you consider accuracy in the body shape important then this refined SAS 904 GTS (Gentleman's Touring Special) tribute car is for you.  It also combines the best of retro automotive styling and racing history with selected modern amenities to create the SAS 904 GTS - a truly desirable modern touring car.
