The term 906 was used for four different, separate models: some variations on the 904, the "kangaroo" called Bergspyder 906/8, the unique model "Ollon-Villars" for the same hill climbs and the best-known model, the Carrera 6th In total, more than sixty cars of this version were made of 906 or Carrera 6, so that he could be homologated by the FIA ​​as a sports car.
Two prototypes were constructed, which bore the brunt of the testing and helped one of which the new type 906 for the first international racing success. This was fully restored by ourselves.
