The Porsche 910, also known as the Carrera 10, was introduced in late 1966 as the successor to the legendary Porsche 906 Carrera 6. Developed exclusively for factory racing, it represented a significant evolution in Porsche’s sports prototype program. While the 906 had been homologated for both customer and limited road use, the 910 was designed with one goal: winning international endurance races.
The most notable upgrades included lightweight 13-inch Formula 1-style centre-lock wheels, replacing the 906’s five-stud road-car wheels, allowing much faster pit stops. The 910 also featured revised suspension geometry, a lower and shorter body for improved aerodynamics, and forward-hinged doors instead of the 906’s gullwing design. Power came from either a 2.0-litre flat-six producing around 220 hp or a more potent 2.2-litre flat-eight delivering up to 270 hp.
The Porsche 910 quickly established itself as one of the most successful sports prototypes of its era. In 1967 it achieved an historic 1-2-3 overall finish at the Targa Florio and also claimed overall victory at the 1000 km Nürburgring, confirming Porsche as a major force in endurance racing. It also recorded class success at the 24 Hours of Le Mans and dominated European hill climb competition before being replaced by the Porsche 907.
