1966 Porsche 906 Carrera 6

Love classic racing cars? Got a penchant for Porsche? The guys at Schaltkulisse have got an incredible, albeit likely eye-wateringly expensive, offering that will turn heads everywhere you go if you’ve got deep enough pockets to facilitate it. Say hello to this spectacular 1966 Porsche 906 Carrera 6.

During the 1950s and early 1960s, Porsche established itself as a dominant force in racing, particularly with the 904, which dominated the under-two-litre GT class. The Porsche 906 made its debut at the 1966 24 Hours of Daytona, where it secured a 6th place overall finish and a win in the Sports 2.0-litre class. The car continued its winning streak seven weeks later, triumphing over the Dino at Sebring, and then at the 1000-km races in Monza, Spa, and Nürburgring. Now, courtesy of Schaltkulisse, you’ve got the opportunity to own a piece of racing history.

This majestic 1966 Porsche 906 Carrera 6 from Schaltkulisse was originally delivered to its first owner in Italy, Mr. Ermanno Spazzapan. Alongside chassis 906-110, Spazzapan competed in major Italian Hillclimb events, securing an outright victory at Antignano-Monte Burrone and finishing second overall at Vittorio Veneto-Consoglio, in addition to achieving strong class results in the other eight races he entered.

During the 1967 season, the car was raced by Antonio Zadra, who participated in numerous Hillclimb races, rounds of the European Championship, and international circuit races. Over the years, 906-115 has changed hands several times, each owner a collector or enthusiast who has maintained the car meticulously and occasionally entered it in historic racing events. Chassis 906-115 has raced at prestigious circuits including Donnington, Spa, Nürburgring, and Most. In 2001, it achieved a fourth-place finish at the historic St-Ursanne-Les-Rangiers Hillclimb, piloted by the son of Jo Siffert.

The extensive history of 906-115 is thoroughly chronicled in the “Porsche 906” book by Ulrich Trispel and Jurgen Barth, which traces its lineage continuously from 1967 to 2007. In 2007, French collector Daniel Vercamer acquired 906-115 from Alain Salat, continuing its legacy with meticulous care and preservation. He maintained ownership of the car, actively participating in driving events across Europe until 2014. Vercamer then sold the 906 to a Ferrari collector who rarely used 906-115.

The vehicle changed hands once more in 2020, eventually becoming part of an esteemed collection that includes Ferraris and significant Porsches. Today, originating from a distinguished collection, 906-115 stands out as an exceptionally well-preserved and well-maintained example, a rarity that becomes increasingly difficult to find as time progresses.
