The Porsche 906, sold as the Carrera 6, is a Group 4 sports car that Porsche announced in January 1966 for the 1966 World Sportscar Championship. It carried a 2 litre flat-six Type 901 engine, where its predecessor the 904 had a four-cylinder. It was a street-legal racing car that met the FIA homologation rules, with luggage space and a spare wheel, and 65 were built against a required minimum of 50. Together with the 904, 910 and 911 it won all the 2 litre classes of the 1966 World Sportscar Championship and the 1966 European Hill Climb Championship, and privateers took the 2 litre class again in 1967.
