Nah, Peugeot 908 hdi, 2011 black matte presentation Audi R18, Bentley Speed 8, Mercedes CLR or even the 962 are much better looking Le Mans. 917's design is hugely overrated in my opinion, it had a horrible looking rear end...
As a VWG fan, I love all brands in the group, and my personal fav is Audi, but I think Porsche has the best tech in the world. I love my 971 4S it’s such an incredible car!
Unlike most flat-twin, flat-four and flat-six engines, flat-twelve engines typically use the crankshaft configuration of a 180° V engine instead of a boxer engine. Therefore most flat-twelve engines have each pair of pistons sharing a crankpin, instead of the boxer design of each piston having its own crankpin.
The Porsche 917k is the car that got me into endurance racing . when i first saw it in the Le Mans movie from 1971 i instantly fell in love with it and endurance. i have a jw gulf Porsche replica jacket from the movie and i drive this car on Project Cars 2 every day. if it hadn't been for this car and movie i probably wouldn't know what Le Mans is. ive watched that movie hundreds of times. im getting an h pattern shifter and a new wheel for my PS4 for christmas so im going to be as close to driving it as i will ever get.
@@markfuckerberg9859 nobody could imagine that in these times. often last years race cars were just parked outside somewhere until they were destroyed. nobody could even think of running them privately so nobody wanted them

Interesting story; when JD went to his local Beverly Hills Porsche dealer to buy a 550 A Porsche would not approve the sale as they said he was too inexperienced. So JD hired a certified Porsche Mechanic and he told Porsche he would watch after young James when he drove the car, so Porsche relented and sold him one. Obviously Porsche was right to be concerned as young James killed himself and said Mechanic on a nearly empty public highway in the desert on his first road trip to drive the car to a local race, I believe in Barstow.
Just watched that Steve McQueen movie. Really cool stuff. I had a toy car in the very early 70's with Gulf livery. I am not sure if it was a GT40 or a 917. Either way, I bet it would be worth something today. Metal with working lights. I would kill to learn what happened to it.
OMG! I miss those Need for Speed Porsche days. I'd come home from school and it'd be a mad dash between me and my brother about who could eat and shower faster and go straight to the computer to play NFS Porsche.
It just has giant wheelarches and it was very normal for racecars in the 70s to sit that high. Its also kinda a ilussion cause when you have a car with a very low roofline any gap between it and the ground will look bigger

PORSCHE POWER... price is no object! Back in the day, would do almost anything to drive a Porsche 917K, 917/30 Spyder, or 956. Today, will still do almost anything to drive Porsche again.
I cannot agree more; the 917 KH is the greatest Porsche of all times...! Now (July 14th, 2021), I think we're few weeks from a new Sotheby's auction, in which an original Porsche 917 KH is about to be sold, for a price list of... 18.5 million US Dollars!!! 😳😳😳
917k Absolute legend of a race car, this bad boy was the best car you could get in porsche unleashed, and the most insane, the tiny circuits were too small to contain it
The Gulf livery 917's never won at LeMans; the Gulf livery FORD won at LeMans the year before the two 917 wins (70 and 71), as the poor Porsche 908's brakes were giving way on the last lap. The most valuable Porsches are the property of Porsche, probably will never be sold, and can be seen at Porsche's own showing.
The irony is that Gordon Murray sold his McLaren F1 for 19.5 million Dollars. I honestly don't understand now how a McLaren F1 (ok, ok, it was owned by Murray) can be worth 5 million Dollars more than the Porsche 917.
Surrounded by spectacular million dollar Porsches and the host is wearing a suit that looks like it has been slept in. Also, the 917 had a flat, horizontally opposed engine, just like a 911, VW Beetle, Subaru etc. It wasn't a Vee engine at all, as this refers to the cylinder layout which is obviously flat with two rows of six cylinders directly opposite each other. The connecting rod pin arrangement on the crankshaft doesn't change the cylinder configuration. There have been many Vee engines that have used a variety of con rod pin positionings and they're still considered Vee engines, as the cylinders form a vee shape, regardless of the crankshaft used.
heritage, heritage, heritage... which car is the quickest 0-100km/h - tesla, which manufacturer has the safest line up - tesla, who has the most efficient car - tesla, which cars have the most advanced built technology - tesla.

Lastly, don't want a car that can't drive over 100km without having something broken
That 917-30 Can Am racer was such a fucking beast it helped to kill off the Can Am class of racing altogether. It's not entirely responsible, but it was winning too much for it's competitors and the governing body of the series.
The 917 is probably the king of all Porsche race cars and it wasn’t even a prototype. This monster destroyed the Can-Am series, with its total dominance and wiped the floor with all and sundry at Le Mans.
@@Tony.795 it all depends how much money you have. If you start to struggle with insuring the thing, or you want your family to have a better life, yes. If you're like Niki Lauda with $500 million net worth, just keep it. However, when you die, your kids will sell it anyways
the car is no combination, it's a Porsche. The two names on the car is just to make promotion on the US market for the new retailers relationship between Porsche and Audi in the US.
The Audi RS2 Avant was a co-development project between Audi and Porsche. It has Porsche-designed braking and suspension and exterior parts like rims, mirrors from a porsche.
Online pics of the 4.5 and 4.9 L engines sure look like 12 cylinder versions of the Porsche flat horizontally opposed 6 cylinder engines of the time. Bruce Canepa 917 engine rebuild vid, FLAT 12..... not V 12 just sayin.... fav cars of all time especially the 917-30 soooo cool. Ballsy
Wow looks like we got a little know it all twat here, 180° v12 is diffrent from a flat 12. They may look the same but are mechanically very diffrent, maybe next time do some actual research and dont just watch a video!!!!!! Also whp do you think knows more about the engine, you OR THE COMPANY THAT FREAKING DESIGNED AND PRODUCED THE ENGINE!
The 917, is still one of, if not my favourite Porsches of all time, heck forget just as a Porsche, its one of my favourite racecars of all time. It's sleek, beautiful, iconic and still a very quick car, to this very day. I came to this video specifically because of it, marketing gimmick or not.
2:11 racing in t-shirts these days...
Ken Miles died in a J-Car while wearing a T-Shirt...
i honesly think the 917k is the greatest looking race car of all time. I have yet to see a better looking car going down the mulsanne straight.
Absolutely, especially in those Gulf colors.
Looks like a fucking spaceship
Idk, the gt40 and the clk gtr lm are up there also for me
It was hard to see it going down the Mulsanne Straight when it was doing over 210 mph at night in the rain. The greatest car ever made.
Nah, Peugeot 908 hdi, 2011 black matte presentation Audi R18, Bentley Speed 8, Mercedes CLR or even the 962 are much better looking Le Mans. 917's design is hugely overrated in my opinion, it had a horrible looking rear end...

Agree.
I prefer classic murican cars tbh,
From Petrolicious to presenting a video for Porsche. Ted is such an inspiration 🙌🏼
The 917k is my favourite Porsche ever ❤️❤️❤️ just this sound 😘👌
that car and the movie Le Mans from 1970 made me understand racing
Para mim, Porsche é um símbolo para carro esporte e o 917 é o mais icônico deles.
I would do unspeakable things for that car...
Ive seen it,and i didnt even know
The best German cars ever!
Super enjoyable host! Keep it up!
I am a very BIG PORSCHE Fan and to see this cars. It's like a dream more videos like that
Me too ;D
Ah yes, the debate on flat or H12 vs 180* V12. This being Porsche's channel, it was nice to hear it referred to as a V12.
It confirms it is a V12 then. I've always thought it was a flat-12. Guess I was wrong.
On a contrary, the Ferrari 512 was actually the one with boxer 12
HO ... horizontally opposed... or a flat 12. The 917 does not, nor ever had a v12.
@@minigungaming5915 No it was an air cooled flat 12. This guy is wrong. Google 'Porche 917 engine' for pictures.

I just bought the 917 LH model Hot Wheel... Damn it looks beautiful...
He is so lucky, top 5 in one location, amazing, that 917/30 is my favorite,
I knew the 917 K will take the top spot but buying one at almost $15 million? You would need to be a billionare to get one.
Very nice video, thanks for sharing these images with all lovers of these beautiful cars!

Good Porsche Porsche Top 5 Series Most Expensive Porsche Cars Ever Sold
1200hp, 400l of fuel at a time where pit stops took minutes, man that would have been the most OP car of all time.
It's nicknamed the Can-Am Killer, because it was so unbeatable that the Can Am racing series was utterly dominated by them.
That's a 962 though and not a 956. Oops!
Its a 956, the 962 is basically a updated version of the 956 but the car in this video is actually a 956 instead of a 962
That's 308kg of fuel on board the 917/30 assuming 0.77kg/L for the density of the fuel... Wtf
Porsche:)
917 > all other race cars
see he even says porsche not porschuh so guys stop saying porsche is not correct
This top 5 series is basically a huge flex
"We'll let the numbers talk" Ted Gushue starts talking 🙄
r/woooosh
The 956/962 are iconic. The 917 is a legend
So the tenent music is originally from this video
Carrera GT is the best Porsche you can drive on the street
The gulf livery is godly
Thanks to need for speed Porsche i got to drive all these cars. Feel so complete watching this lol

It's rather odd that the 917K appears to be sitting so high off the ground.
It just has giant wheelarches and it was very normal for racecars in the 70s to sit that high. Its also kinda a ilussion cause when you have a car with a very low roofline any gap between it and the ground will look bigger
