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 (http://962.com/registry/917/index.htm)

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.

lol this replica looks kinda goofy...the wheelbase is so short that the diffuser part makes it look like a batmobile

At first glance I though it was somebody's attempt at the batmobile.

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..
