Porsche 917: Zuffenhausen's

Description: After knocking on the door for decades, Germany's Porsche finally stepped into the big time of international auto racing with its Type 917 in 1969. Its phenomenal air-cooled flat-12 engine powered the 917 to 15 wins in world sports-car championship races from 1969 to 1971, after which it was outlawed by a rules change. Included were two wins at Le Mans in 1970 and '71. First built in a series of 25 coupes that Volkswagen chief Ferdinand Piech called the biggest risk he's ever taken in business, the 917 was raced in both short- and long-tailed forms, pumping out 630 bhp by 1971. It went on to even greater glory in turbocharged roadster form in Can-Am racing as the 917/10, series champion in 1972. In '73 the incredible 1,000-horsepower 917/30 Porsche dominated the Can-Am series --> Visit Our Store About Us Feedback Newsletters Contact Us Porsche 917: Zuffenhausen's Le Mans and Can-Am Champion (Ludvigsen Library) Description Porsche 917: Zuffenhausen's Le Mans and Can-Am Champion (Ludvigsen Library)--> SKU: B05314#2 After knocking on the door for decades, Germany's Porsche finally stepped into the big time of international auto racing with its Type 917 in 1969.
