The thing is, 910 (which is actually older than 909) didn't have as much impact on Porsche's later development. 909 inspired changes to 908, which allowed the company to sustain teething problems with 917. Frankly, I'd have gone for '69 908, which would make more sense as another addition to the motorsports category, but 909 is a classic in its own right due to peculiarities of its design, if not necessarily racing pedigree.
