The Porsche 908 was one of the most successful and versatile race cars of its era, playing a crucial role in Porsche’s rise to dominance in prototype endurance racing during the late 1960s and early 1970s.

In 1968, the 908/01 was called simply 908 and from 1969, when the 908/02 came, the first generation became known as 908/01. The 3-litre 8-cylinder flat engine developed 257-272 kW – serious power from a normally aspirated engine!

Thus Type 908/03 was basically conceived for tight twisty circuits that demanded high levels of maneuverability.

Introduced in 1968, the 908 was designed to meet the new FIA Group 6 regulations for sports prototypes, featuring a lightweight design, powerful engine, and the adaptability to compete in a variety of race formats.
