- The 917 Kurzheck is very rare and very expensive. However, on a racetrack like Spa-Francorchamps you just gotta do what you gotta do, right? Drive it like you stole it!
This was recorded during the Classic Endurance Racing 1 (one hour race) at the 2019 Spa Classic event.

My brother worked at Gulf when they raced the Mirage-Ford which won Le Mans in 1975. He used to find bits of scrap from the 917s such as cooling pipes and I used to bolt them onto my moped. I had the only Porsche 917 Raleigh moped in the world :-)
coolest racecar ever made. the styling is sublime, the livery is sublime, the sound is sublime, its track record is sublime, and it's one of the most unique cars ever made.
The 917 was voted the greatest race car of the 20th century. It was so ahead of its time, nothing surpassed it for 40 years I would love to drive one before I leave this earth but I know that will never happen. Porsche oh, there is no substitute!
The 917 should have a red carpet rolled out every time one shows itself, it’s a legend.

Even though there are so many awesome Old School Racers, that 917 just stands out among them! Legendary Race Car!
When I was a little boy, i've seen these 917 Porsches in real. Nowadays these videos make me feel a young boy again. ...makes me happy. By the way....they were the most angry cars in the 70 ties .
I loved this car ever since Steve McQueen drove it in the film Le Mans in the early 70’s. What a beast!
Every time I hear that thing fly by it puts a smile on my face
Greatest car ever built
Thank you. Its always SO nice to just hear the cars! Today's announcers have gotten too full of themselves and never shut up unlike the good ol' Speed Channel guys, who knew we would rather hear the cars and racing than their "brilliant" insights ;)
The Porsche 917 was a living Demon! The greatest road car EVER
Much respect for using such a rare and valuable automobile for what it was made for. Not letting it sit in some private collection gathering dust.
At the porsche museum in Zuffenhausen, while a friend of mine was doing a photoshoot, I was walking around with a visitors headset listening to the stories behind various old Porsches. I knew of the 917K, but I had never really heard its engine sound properly. When I got to hear it, I maxed the volume and could do nothing about the tears of joy running down my cheeks. Angels wailing!
Enzo Ferrari was reported to have said, that he was glad there were no races longer than 24 hours since Porsches would be the only ones running at the end if there were
The most beautiful car ever. Always my favorite- always will be!
Probably the most brutal racecar ever built.
When I went to Spa, walking into the circuit I got the impression that Au Rouge was a cliff. The camera never seems to do it justice. The cars are fabulous.
Wow the symphony of engine music is amazing, but nothing beats that flat 12 though at full clip! Beautiful!
OMG the Flat 12 sounds so COOL it makes me DROOL
