Porsche 2708

Automobiles

The Porsche 2708 is an open-wheel race car that Porsche developed and fielded in American CART Indy car racing from 1987 to 1990. It was an all-Porsche design with an aluminum and plastic monocoque chassis developed by Norbert Singer and a turbocharged V8 engine, the Type 9M0 developed by Hans Mezger, which was a load-bearing part of the chassis and ran on methanol as the CART rules required. From 1989 the engine was fitted to a March chassis and the car ran as the March-Porsche 89 P. Porsche took its first Indy car victory with it at Mid-Ohio in 1989, but the programme was largely unsuccessful and ended late in 1990.
