The 1969 Targa Florio triumph by Gerhard Mitter and Udo Schütz in the 908/2 Spyder enables Porsche to win the Manufacturers' World Championship for the first time. This victory is the just reward for the factory team's unceasing efforts to build a new racing car for each world championship race. In the lightweight 908/2 Spyder, everything is weight-optimized, from the titanium wheel hubs to the five-speed gearshift, bringing it down to a slender 600 kilograms.
