Porsche 908/3 Spyder in action on Swiss Bernina Hillclimb Pass: Flat-8 Engine Sound & Crackles!

Here's a video about the winner of the 2023 Bernina Gran Turismo hillclimb race: a beautiful Porsche 908/3 Spyder driven by Christoph Rendlen. The car should be chassis 908/03-010 which took part in the 1971 Targa Florio. The Porsche 908 was a sport prototype introduced in 1968 to comply with the new FIA rules for Group 6 racing, limiting engine displacement to 3,000 cc. Porsche designed a new air-cooled 3.0-litre flat-8 engine producing 350 hp at 8,400 rpm. Originally the 908 was a closed coupé to continue the Porsche 906, Porsche 910 and Porsche 907 series. Despite winning the 1000km Nürburgring, the 908 was anything but convincing in 1968, with the older 907 delivering better results but struggling on faster tracks where Ford GT40s were still dominating. Porsche so decided to go one step further and develop a Group 5 sports car which will be fielded from 1969: the 917. For the 1968 24h Le Mans, Porsche further develop the 908 giving her a Long Tail body (908 LH) to be more suitable for the long straights of the French track. The 908 LHs were the fastest in qualifying, but troubles with the alternator caused delays and even disqualifications as the new Porsche team leaders had misinterpreted the repair rules. In 1969 Group 6 rules were slightly changed again and Porsche was able to reduce the weight of the 908. The ''new'' 908, called 908/2, was now a lighter spyder race car. In fact Porsche decided to shorten the LH body and remove the roof of the 908 to reduce the weight of the original 908 by 100 kg. After the unveil of the 917, the 908 started to succeed. Despite the more powerful 917 improving towards the end of 1969, the career of the 908 continued. On rather twisty and slow tracks like Nürburgring and Targa Florio, the 917 was not suited well. In 1970 Porsche introduced the 908/3. Based upon the lightweight and short Porsche 909 which was used in hillclimb racing, the new version was even shorter than the 908/02 and only weighed 500 kg. The 908/3 was very successful at the Nürburgring and in the Targa Florio. Listen to that flat-8 engine echoing all around the mountains of the beautiful Swiss Bernina pass! ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Bernina Gran Turismo is an event born in 2014 with the aim of keep the memory of the legendary Bernina hillclimb race of 1929 and 1930 alive. It's held on the beautiful Bernina Pass in Switzerland, on a section of the original route specifically closed to traffic, with the hilclimb course starting from La Rösa (1,871 m above sea level) and ending up on the actual Bernina Pass (2,328 m) after a total of 5.9 km. Back to those years this competition was part of the International St. Moritz Automobile Week, which consisted of a rally, the kilometer race, a skill race, a concours d'elegance and, as a conclusion, the hillclimb race. Since 2021 BGT's organizers decided to celebrate the whole International St. Moritz Automobile Week of those two years with a selection of events which recalled the original ones. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- 0:00 Close ups 0:27 Heading to the start line 2:08 Hillclimb action #Porsche9083 #Porsche908Spyder #BerninaGranTurismo2023 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- Subscribe to my 2nd channel here:    / @19bozzy92ndchannel   You can also find and follow me on: Flickr: http://www.flickr.com/photos/19bozzy92/ Facebook:   / 19bozzy92yt   Instagram:   / ste19bozzy92   Camcorder: Canon Legria GX10 + Zoom H5 Events: Bernina Gran Turismo 2023 Where: Berninapass, Switzerland Link To My Channel:    / 19bozzy92   THANKS FOR WATCHING AND SUBSCRIBE!!!
