ThePorsche 908/2 Flunder: A Brief History

The Porsche 908/2, first introduced in 1969, was a development of the original 908 coupe. The "Flunder" (German for "flounder") version featured a wider, flatter, and more aerodynamic body, designed to maximize downforce and reduce drag on high-speed tracks. Powered by a potent 3.0-liter, air-cooled, flat-eight engine, the 908/2 Flunder was a lightweight and agile machine that could challenge even the more powerful 5-liter prototypes. Its success in the World Sportscar Championship cemented its place in Porsche's illustrious racing history.

Despite the retirement, their participation with the distinctive BP-sponsored Flunder at Le Mans is a notable part of the car's history.
