The Pink Pig
For the 1971 Season, the 917 Kurzheck Coupé (917K) was upgraded in several ways

This 908 received a completely new tubular frame based on that of the 909 Bergspyder and its three liter engine was moved forward.
There was a belief that longer bodies are more aerodynamic and are therefore better for faster tracks, so a 908 Flunder Spyder with a longer tail was created
The 908/02 K Spyder and 908 K Flunder Spyder were basically the same cars with slightly different bodywork
Notching up over 50 major victories and more than 100 podium results, the 908/02 Spyder is one of the most successful Porsche race cars

Another four factory 906s received an air-cooled eight-cylinder boxer engine of the type 771, which was already used in the 904/8.
For the 1966 Le Mans 24h race, long-tail LH ("Langheck") versions were made and now the standard 906 were called as 906 K ("Kurz", short in German)
The 906 Spyder was the first Porsche racing car built under Ferdinand Piëch's orders and there could be only a person as determined as Piëch to use Lotus parts on a Porsche.
