A rare and iconic Porsche 910 from 1966, the first of its series, will be auctioned next month for an estimated value of over $2.1 million.
This historic model, driven by legends such as three-time F1 champion Niki Lauda and Helmut Marko, has been restored to its original condition and retains notable features such as chassis number 910-001, being one of only 12 units with the “short tail” design and one of the six homologated for road use.
The car includes historical records and photos of its racing history, along with valid racing documentation.
Built for endurance racing against giants like Ford and Ferrari, the Porsche 910 debuted in 1966, finishing third in a race in Switzerland with Hans Herrmann. It also shone on legendary tracks like Nürburgring, Monza, and Hockenheim. Over the years, it attracted renowned drivers, including Lauda, who drove it under the Bosch Racing Team sponsorship, and Marko, who drove it before starting his F1 career.
With a white fiberglass body, red details, and black wheels, the car impresses with its preservation nearly six decades after its creation. Equipped with a 2.0L Flat-6 engine, the Porsche maintains its vintage charm with classic interiors and original decals.
This auction at the Mecum’s Kissimmee event will be a unique opportunity to acquire a piece of motorsport history.
