Wow, this is one hell of an excellent replica of the most beautiful mid-engined cars ever made,
Long live the 904.

It's a beautiful, rear, and awesome race car.
Today, replicas of the Porsche 904 are currently being made by a number of companies, including Martin and Walker in the UK and Chuck Beck in the US.
In the history of Porsches 904:
Legends says that the Porsches 904 makes a debut at Sebring in 1964, a four-cylinder race car took an astounding first overall at the Targa Florio, It went on to a third at the Nürburgring and a perfect finish at LeMans. Both times, all five starters finished, placed in the top twelve overall, among many much more powerful cars. 904s showed remarkable durability, they "almost always" finished, and at Reims in 1964, a customer car fresh from Stuttgart, driven to the track, went on to win without the need for any spares parts at all. For 1964, 904s racked up a 1-2 at the Targa Florio and class wins at Spa, Sebring (co-driven by Briggs Cunningham and Lake Underwood), the Nürburgring, Le Mans, Watkins Glen, Zandvoort, Canada, and the Paris 1000 Kilometer, in the process taking SCCA's C-Production and E-Sports Racing titles. In addition, it won rally events including the Tulip, Munich-Vienna-Budapest, Geneva, and "highly acclaimed" Alpine Rally. For 1965, results were "equally impressive", seeing wins at the Spanish, Rossfeld, Hellbronner, and Gaisburg rallys, as well as a class win in a gruelling Monte Carlo Rally which saw just 22 finishers in the points, out of 237 starters. In addition, 904s won their class at the Monza 1000 Kilometer, Targa, Spa, Daytona Continental, Le Mans, and Zandvoort, among others, repeating their E-Sports title win and adding an SCCA E-Production championship.
