The Porsche 910 or Carrera 10 was built between 1966 and 1967 totaling 29 cars. It was only raced by the factory for one year. Originally its 2.0 liter flat 6 produced about 220 hp and later a 2.2 L at 270 hp. It's competition was the Dino 206P and obviously trailed behing the larger displacement GT40s and Ferrari 330 and 512 prototypes. This silver 910-023 was privateer run under the Scuderia Lufthansa banner and ran the 1000KM Nurburgring in 1968. It looked beautiful but suffered from underfunding by the sponsors. To fly the Martini & Rossi logo, the company only gave the team $1500.

This is a great model. I initially passed on the 910, until I saw one at a Vintage Race at Mid-Ohio. I ended up with this same Martini sponsored car...my favorite out of all Exoto's releases.

I've got that model - always was a sucker for a Martini car I also picked up this one
You don't see that many race cars in black

Compared to you guys, I know "diddly" about these Porsches, but as a kid I had several slot cars like these and man-oh-man they looked so cool flying around the track! Weren't there a few variations that had lower (not skirts) rear wheel openings? Those were even cooler! 😎 😎
These are terrific models with great little powerplants, nice pics guys.
