Porsche 908 - a racing rarity with an international success story

March 7, 2016 — Bruno von Rotz 46

The Porsche 908 succeeded the successful 907 and was intended to bridge the waiting time for the Porsche 917. However, the 31 coupés built proved to be very fast and secured Porsche the sports car championship in 1969. And even after the baton was handed over to the Porsche 917, the 908 variants did not stop winning. This report describes the history of the Porsche 908 and shows it in historical racing photos and current footage.

Technology in race cars (33): Porsche 908/03 - The maxi-minimalist

August 20, 2023 — Gerhard Schütz 20

The career of the lightweight Spyder was short-lived, but all the more impressive for it. On demanding circuits such as the Targa Florio or the Nürburgring, it gave the 917, which was spoiled for success, no chance. This article from the series "Technology in racing cars" explains what made the 908/03 so superior.
