1967 Porsche 910 Coupe

The 910 was launched in 1966 as the 906/10 although the 29 examples built are usually referred to as the 910. The 910 marked a new era of competition prototypes for Porsche. With no compromises that hinted at street use, the 910 was a fully developed race car.

The Porsche 910 Began in 1966 as a Hillclimb race car, but quickly developed into a highly successful endurance racer. These Circuit Racing 910's swept the 1967 Targa Florio, Nurburgring and Circuit Mugello and only lost the World Sports Car Championship for 1967 to Ferrari by a few points. The 910 also won the 1966 and 1967 European Hillclimb Championship.

There were only 28 Circuit 910's built - 19 of which actually raced for the Porsche factory. The 910 utilizes a tubular frame, beryllium brake discs, titanium hubs, etc, and weighs only 1298 lbs. The 910 used both a 2-liter Type 901/21 injected 220 horsepower flat-six and a 2.2-liter Type 771/0 injected flat eight with 270 horsepower.

Porsche 910-025 is an ex-works circuit race car, and ran the 1967 Targa Florio as well as the Circuit of Mugello, Italy where it placed First At Mugello, the car was driven by Udo Schutz and Gerhard Mitter; they beat second place 910 driven by Jochen Neepasch and Rolf Stommelen by a minute and 50 seconds. From 1968, this car ran as a private entry around Europe under Ben Hur Racing, Germany. August 1998, 910-025 was brought into the country to run the Monterey Historics - where Porsche was the featured Marque. After a full, factory spec restoration by Hall & Hall, England in 2001, 910-025 competed in FIA Group 4 Championships in Europe - racing at the Nurburgring, Six Hours De Span and the 24 Hours LeMans Classic in 2002.

Several air-cooled 2-liter 6-cylinder motors were used, first with carburetors and then with MFI 'slide' injection, then a Type 771/0 2,195cc version (in the Mugello race) with a reported 270 horsepower, and Porsche's 8-cylinder with 275 horsepower, the car so-fitted as the 910/8.
