History
Porsche unveiled the 907 at the 1967 Le Mans 24 Hours. The early cars used the 2.0-liter six from the 910, rated at 220 horsepower, because the eight-cylinder was not yet ready for prolonged use. The car raced once more in 1967, at Brands Hatch, with the eight and a shorter tail, and finished fourth.
By the 1968 Daytona 24 Hours Porsche had a fleet of 907s with the 2.2-liter Type 771 eight, rated at 278 bhp at 8,700 rpm. A long-tail 907L was entered for that season.
