Between 14 September and 16 November 1964, 82 cars were built[1] and the 901 was presented in October at the 1964 Paris Auto Salon.
[1] Nevertheless, several of the cars retained by Porsche at that time appear to have made it to private ownership subsequently: in 1988 number 20 was discovered and completely restored by Kurt Schneider and his wife, Lori.
[2] In 2010, it was reported that car number 37 was owned by a Porsche specialist named Alois Ruf.

Later, Porsche introduced pure racing cars which were not sold for road use, and did not compete with any road-going Peugeot.
