The Porsche 906 or Carrera 6 appeared in 1965 derived from a 904 with flat six engine. The new body was developped in wind tunnel. The chassis was tubular frame. Most models were propulsed by 2 liter flat 6

210 bhp, Type 901/20 1,991 cc SOHC air-cooled opposed six-cylinder engine with dual Weber 46IDA 3C triple-throat downdraft carburetors, five-speed manual transmission, independent front and rear suspension, and four-wheel disc brakes. Wheelbase: 90.6 in.

The 1966 Type 906, soon to be known by its more popular name of Carrera 6, was Porsche’s response to the 1965 appearance of Ferrari’s new featherweight hill climber, the 206 Dino. The Dino had rendered Porsche’s fiberglass-bodied 904 GTS obsolete almost overnight. Like the 904 and the Dino, the 906 had its engine mounted midship, which was ahead of the rear transaxle. Unlike the 904, which had been constructed on a sheet-steel backbone frame, the 906 was based on a light and very strong tubular steel space frame.
