In fact it finished 5th in the Le Mans Race. The V8 Ford was generating rumors about roles that would be changing in future races and Porsche began to prepare themselves to be able to compete with the Ford V8. The 907 was quickly overworked to include a 3 liter 270 hp 2200cc 8 cylinder engine.

These four cars came complete with 20 engineers and mechanics, as well as the drivers. The Porsche 907 saw a one-two win on the 12 Hours of Sebring.
