Porsche updated the later 910s, including Chassis 018, with a number of updates. One of the most noteworthy was a widened front and rear tracks to improve further road holding, which was introduced after the 910-012 was built. This offered a balanced and responsive driving experience combined with a lightweight frame and sophisticated suspension system featuring double wishbones and coil-over Bilstein dampers. Today, 910-018 is a collectors grail, a vehicle that only a true Porsche aficionado could properly enjoy.
