Porsche 718
Built for circuit track, road and hill climb racing, the Porsche factory team and numerous customers successfully used the 718 race sports cars from 1953 to the mid-1960s. Famous racers like Wolfgang Graf Berghe von Trips, Hans Herrmann, Graham Hill, Ricardo Rodriguez and Joakim Bonnier brought home more than 1,000 race victories with the fast and agile Porsche race cars. They really caused a sensation in motorsport thanks to their small four-cylinder flat engines which won races overall against a competition that had superior engine power (but were heavier cars).
