Porsche 908
Porsche was a big underdog during the 1967 World Championship. Despite using engines no larger than 2.2 liters, Porsche lost the World Championship of Makes by one single point in 1967. Porsche decided to up engine size and even the odds. The 908’s mid-mounted engine was essentially a larger version of that used by the 2.2-liter 907. The FIA’s new three-liter prototype (Group 6) and five-liter sports car (Group 4) regulations adopted for 1968 presented the right opportunity. Porsche would build 31 examples of the 908 from 1968 to 1973 in both long-tail and short-tail coupe and Spyder configurations. See all Porsche 908 Research.
