 <\/p>\n

Thus Type 908\/03 was basically conceived for tight twisty circuits that demanded high levels of maneuverability. Consequently, the size of the sports car was kept to a minimum and it weighs a mere 540 kilos. The driver\u2019s seat is even mounted on the right-hand side to ensure better weight distribution on the predominately clockwise circuits the car was to race on.<\/p>\n

\"1970<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The flat-eight three litre engine produced 350hp enabling the 908\/03 to obtain a top speed of approximately 275 km\/h (172 mph), but it was the cars agility that was to ensure success during its racing career.<\/p>\n
