Posted via RS Mobile | Yeah... I looked it up, and the Porsche 917 won the Le Mans in 1970 and 1971.
This thing would be like 40 years old!
But is this one real or just a replica?

I would have to say probably is... 962.com :: The Finest in Motorsport
Looks like there are only about 32 in the world that are privately owned.

I would agree on the replica part,if its a real one its usually.in a garage or a museam since its a leman version and thst usually means its a prototype which comes in limited edition of 1 to 10,just using logic.

I know that car. It's a kit-car replica. It's NOT proportional to a real 917.. the ground clearance and cockpit are all made to be more street-friendly than a real 917..
