The Porsche 907’s 2.2-litre flat-8 generated around 270bhp.  The 908 model’s 3-litre flat-8 produced some 350bhp at 8,400 rpm. A beautiful 908LH ‘Langheck’ (‘long-tailed’) version also was developed for exceptionally high speeds at Le Mans, Spa, Monza and Daytona.  And for 1969 Porsche developed an ultra-lightweight open-cockpit Spyder version – the Porsche 908.02 – with two body styles, a curvy “Coke bottle” shape and an aerodynamic wedge shape nicknamed the ‘Flunder’ (flat fish).
