Eight RS Spyders raced around the world in 2008. Teams and fans could look forward to a great season after the first race in the American Le Mans Series, as the RS Spyders already celebrated a historic double victory in the Sebring 12 Hours and even beat the more powerful prototypes from the LMP1 class.

This year, three of these Porsche sports cars also proved their strength for the first time in the European Le Mans Series and ended the season with great successes. Two teams dared to start in front of more than 260,000 spectators during the 24 Hours of Le Mans and promptly celebrated a double victory in the LMP2 class.

In 2008, all drivers' and team championships and constructors' titles were won.
Impressive, beautiful photos, rousing texts, interspersed with competent background information and countless comments from drivers, engineers and team bosses captivate the reader on 160 pages.

On the first pages, the reader is informed about the further developments in Weissach and the impressive technology of the sports car, improvements are already clear during the first test drives in Sebring. The presentation of the five teams and 20 drivers helps to start the season well informed at the first race of the ALMS 2008.

A world map shows the positions of the teams and the circuits on which the RS Spyder participated in 2008. A modern design and high-quality finishes characterize this unique retrospective of the year.
