Porsche 804 Formula 1 Car - Winner of the 1962 French GP
In 1961 the Stuttgart marque entered its own chassis in Formula 1, and for the 1962 season the company developed the 804 - powered by a flat eight cylinder 1.5-litre 180 hp engine. Driven by the American driver Dan Gurney, the 804 scored its first victory at the 1962 French GP and quickly followed this with another triumph at the Solitude track in Germany.
