Build Controls
3 sizes, color recipes, detailed interior, and strict LEGO-legal geometry baked in. Default targets Gulf light-blue + orange “arrows” with #40 roundels.
Hard rules enforced in every plan:
• True stud grid + official offsets only (jumpers/brackets/SNOT).
• No stressed geometry, no forced alignment, no friction hacks.
• BrickLink Studio collision + connection validation: 0 intersections, 0 floating, all legal connections.
• Vehicle width rule: ≥ 8 studs (applied here).
• Tile-smooth outer surfaces prioritized + internal Technic/plate spine for stiffness.

Research Dossier — Porsche 908/03 (1970–1971) Reference Notes
For accurate shaping, decals, and proportions.
The Porsche 908/03 was designed specifically for twisty circuits like the Targa Florio and Nürburgring Nordschleife.
Famous Gulf cars ran light-blue with orange arrows and roundels (including #40). Use these references for museum-quality decals and stance.
Era & purpose
Purpose-built lightweight open spyder for 1970–1971 endurance road races; ultra-short wheelbase; driver’s feet ahead of front axle on some chassis.
Powertrain (typical)
Air-cooled flat-8, ~2997 cc, fuel injection; commonly cited around ~360 hp (varies by tune/event).
Key dimensions (reference)
Wheelbase often cited ~90 in (~2286 mm). Overall length often cited near ~3540 mm on 908/03 references. Treat as target for LEGO proportions.
Weight (reference)
Lightweight build often cited around ~1200 lb (~545 kg) for 908/03 in period references.

History of the Car — Quick Museum Caption
Use for your display plaque / listing copy.
Porsche built the 908/03 as a specialized lightweight spyder for tight, technical endurance routes where the bigger 917 was not ideal.
In period Gulf colors, the 908/03 became one of the most recognizable open prototypes of the early 1970s, associated with iconic Targa Florio and Nürburgring entries.
