Part endurance racer and part hill-climb special, the stripped-down Porsche 908/3 is the embodiment of Porsche’s obsession with weight savings. The 3.0-liter flat-eight engine rides the driver ...

The car heading to auction, chassis 908-010, represents one-half of a two-car entry Porsche System Engineering fielded for the 1968 Spa 1000Km.

The 908/3 was successful at both the 1000-km Nurburgring and the Targa Florio and, alongside the 917, helped Porsche win the International Championship for Makes from 1969 to 1971.

With the 917 becoming obsolete, Porsche opted against further development of the 908/03 and sold all the remaining chassis to private teams.
