Porsche 910

About Porsche 910

The Porsche 910 or Carrera 10 are prototype race cars built by Porsche in late 1966 and early 1967 as less restricted evolutions of the "mass produced" (65 in total) street legal 2 litre Porsche 906 Carrera 6 that were made in early 1966 to FIA Group 4 Sportscar homologation requirements that included luggage space and spare wheel. Unlike the 906, that also had carried over Porsche 904 parts, the 910 was not developed with the considerations necessary for FIA/CSI homologation, public road use, racing by customers, or economy in general. The chassis is a steel space frame design covered by a lightweight fiberglass body, fitted with up to date Formula 1 suspensions parts, wheels, tyres, different engines, and bodies. As the 906 had gullwing doors with hinges on the roof that had issues with remaining properly closed, the 910 doors hinged forward, which also allowed that the roof could be removed.
