Porsche 908/3
http://www.earthflix.com/stories/908_3.php
Porsche 908/3 owner Phil Daigrepont tells us all about this unique car. This was the last model of the lightweight, flat eight cylinder race cars that Porsche built. It features an unusual transaxle in that the transmission section is between the engine and the differential, not behind the differential and rear axle. This puts less weight hanging out behind the rear axle and concentrates virtually all the car's weight within the wheelbase. This leads to very responsive handling. The frame is made of aluminum tubing with a light fiberglass body. The engine is three liters in displacement with Bosch mechanical fuel injection. The in-car camera will give you a driver's eye view of the track. Thanks to Phil Daigrepont for the in-car video.
