The sound from these intake funnels.... :hail:
To which racer do the funnels belong? There is one point for manufacturer, type and year of construction.

Yes, it is the Fuhrmann engine but it is not in an RSK and is younger than 1958. Locked for you.

It was the round hole in the frame section that puzzled me. So, no 718  RS 60/61.
It is engine number 99.003 from Porsche 904 #904.011, car delivered 17.01.1964

Yes, you are absolutely right, it is a 1964 GTS 904. Thanks for the additional information.
This road-legal racing sports car was used, among other things, as a camera car for "Zweites Deutsches Fernsehen" at the 1000 km race on the Nürburgring in 1966 (picture 4).
One 904 even received an 8-cylinder engine, type 771 (picture 5).
Congratulations on your next point.
