There were actually two. One was for Dr Porsche as a present from his son. The other was for his son. It was rumored that the Drs car was watered down while B Porsche has his out of an all out 908 car. They knew this because as B Porsche would come over the bridge to work in the morning between shifts the car smoked. Well the 098 had direct oil jets to the valves to keep them cool. Consumption was not an issue, cooling a race motor was. The other part of the story was B Porsche built the first one for his self then realized that the good Dr would be pissed. So he build the second one for the Dr and offered it in tradition of his B-day gift.
