On May 13, 1967, the Porsche racing department in Stuttgart Zuffenhausen finished the 910\/8 Bergspyder with chassis number 910.031 and shortly thereafter sent it to its first of many races. This car quickly became the favorite of factory driver Gerhard Mitter, who won the European Hillclimb Championship in that year. The low curb weight of less than 450 kilograms and the approximately 275-hp eight-cylinder boxer engine helped him to achieve some success. For the sprint from standstill to 62 mph it takes less than three seconds. To reduce weight, Porsche used materials like plastic, aluminium, titanium and magnesium. For example, they made a fuel tank with just 26 liters capacity of the magnesium alloy electron. They also renounced on a heavy alternator. Instead, the necessary electricity came from a silver battery.

Under the ultralight fiberglass reinforced plastic body is a steel tubular frame and a chassis on the stand of Formula 1 of that time with 13-inch magnesium wheels. At the rear sits an adjustable spoiler to generate more or less downforce depending on the circuit. This 910\/8 Bergspyder proved its performance just one week after completion at the 200-Kilometer-Race in Montseny, Spain. Mitter won it and added another three wins and four front places to score the title of the European Hillclimb Championship 1967. After the Gaisbergrennen in Austria on October 3, 1967, the racing team of Porsche removed gasoline, oil, brake fluid and battery to store the car in the in-house depot, which today is part of the Porsche Museum. Since then, this racing car parked in there, at most pushed around to another position.<\/p>\n\n\n
