A works car, this 917 was entered at Le Mans in 1969 for Vic Elford and Richard Attwood as a 917 LH. The British pairing led for 18 hours and by six laps until clutch issues signalled the beginning of the end for the final surviving 917 in the race. Later that year, it was part of the famous test at Zeltweg that helped fix the aerodynamic issues and as a result 008 became the first 917 K. It continued to be tested extensively and was also raced at the Nürburgring early in 1970. Not raced again, the car then served as a spare for the JWA Gulf team through to 1971. It was then dismantled and not much later sold to Manfred Freisinger. The car was rebuilt and sold on to Swiss collector Claude Haldi. During the late 1980s and early 1990s, it was restored once more by Freisinger for its new longtime owner Gerard-Dantin Martin. He kept the car hidden in his collection for over 25 years to avoid having to pay capital gains tax. Since 2018, the car is in the hands of a Monégasque private collection. Wearing Gulf colours but the #12 used by Elford and Attwood in 1969, it was reunited with Attwood at the 2018 Le Mans Classic. [/quote]

Before more people ask, here's a short explanation about the engine.
The 917K has a 180° V12, which is often called flat-12
Some people think however that a "flat engine" is the same as a "boxer engine" That is incorrect..
The way the pistons move is different for each configuration. In a "V" engine the pistons for 1 bank move in the same direction.
In a boxer engine the pistons move towards eachother and then away from eachother. Imagine 2 Boxers hitting eachothers fist. Coming towards eachother.
According to someone from the Porsche museum (Some people will know him, Benjamin from the JP Performance video's) it is a 180° V12.
Even the info next to the 917 cars in the museum says this. I've seen it myself many times.
50 years on , and it is still a PRESENCE at any track !
The looks , performance , sound ......it's a beautyfull beast , an everlasting icon .
Yeah...Maybe the most iconic race car ever.. Absolutely one of them..!!
No other comes close , such a work art and a engineering marvel.
One of the most beautiful, fearsome, incredible racing cars ever. As ever, simply fantastic work.
I can't believe they let those people get that close to that kind of power.
Add the best sounding car to that list.
Them aren't exhaust pipes them are the most finest tuned 3:14 Horns in motorsports .
@@thebossnocompetition8757Amazing, but for me the Matra v12 is streaks ahead.
I agree but for me ranks alongside the Mercedes of the 50's the W125 and W196, equally as awesome but a different era.
917 has the best track presence of any car EVER made. Absolutely nothing compares.
787
That Porsche earned all the attention of the public, simply legendary
For a car that was designed and built over 50 years ago, it does not look out of place in modern times.....truly iconic!! 👍💪
Porsche 917 : The best and most impressive car constructed ever in his category.Unique in racing sport history ......
The 917 body style and Gulf-Porsche color scheme is still beautiful. Thanks for posting.
Derek Bell and others were batshit crazy to drive this monster at Le Mans, 220+mph, down the Mulsanne, at night, in the rain.
"Derek Bell and the others were batshit crazy" succinctly summarized that era of sports car/endurance racing on both sides of the pond...
I'm battling with 10mph in the rain 😁
Thought I'd read somewhere long ago it broke records when it hit 244 mph along Mulsanne (dry conditions). Can't remember where I saw that- just remember that number!
Edit: Ok I was wrong- actually hit 248 mph... 😆
@@meindopen007 funny how we can remember small things like that. I still remember the first car magazine I bought 😁
@@justanotherlaid-backdude5297 some things are more important than others
Porsche 917 FLY IN ANOTHER GALAXY its a Masterpiece of PURE POWER and SOUND not like Hybridchildcars today THIS IS A MONSTER that eat everything and everyone.Thanks Porsche 50 years later its still a Masterpiece.
MC PUNK
Have love these 917s since watching the movie “Le Mans”.❤❤❤
Pantera plonker: "Get the f*** outa my way!"
917: "No worries, I'll be STAYING way, WAY the f*** in front of you the rest of the day, once your tantrum's done..."
Inverted Bat - I was thinking the same thing when he pulled that move. Didn't he know????
That Pantera does his "racing" in the paddock warm up lane, while the Porsche 917 will boil the asphalt and eat that wanker alive on the track!
@@timford3599 Yeah someone thought he was in a Sauber C11... not that THAT would make such a bonehead maneuver acceptable. But yeah - what a moron. Long live the 917 in ALL its variants!
@@dennisweifenbach2647 Haha - that's the thing: he knew what he was doing. He DIDN'T know he'd get the shaft for it! Natural consequences are a bitch!
i guess that guy was an asshole he couldnt wait?
The fact is this car could race today and still win
The 917 and the Ferrari 330 P4 are the two most gorgeous racing machines.
That new DeTomaso P 72 should have been a Ferrari as it’s a modern recreation of the P3 and the best looking racer of all-time.
Ford GT40 ain't bad
"The Biest"
In the 1973 season, the twelve-cylinder produced a stable 1,100 hp at 1.3 bar boost pressure and also withstood the driver's turns on the turbo steam wheel with the resulting far higher output - one speaks of 1,500 hp for a short time - completely without complaint. This made the 917/30 so superior that the engine was only given an intercooler for a record attempt in 1975. “It wasn't necessary before - we had won all the races,” grins Mezger.
Pure poetry of sight, sound and purpose. Has to give you chills. Now where’s my Le Mans dvd?
It's such a treat to see a vintage race car in high-def video; as film/video from its racing era would be grainy in comparison.
Absolute legend... thank you so much for the video!
Automotive racing royalty. Incredible history.
Best thing on 4 tyres ever made. The End.
Sean B - There have been many great Porsches, but I will agree with you.
Amen!
😁
Hell yeah. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Absolute fucking facts!!
800 kilos, 4900 cc, 12 angry cylinders... scary.
... VERY scary ;)
@@Frank-rh7vh And then sure enough they threw a couple turbos on it, and that was the end of Can-Am. Ha!
It is still beautiful in 2019
3:48 Watching the 917 passing those miatas...you realize how insanely low those cars were. Imagine that at 200+ mph😨
An mx5 from Mazda was not made to be their top performing vehicle, not even close, kind of unfair to the Mazda to use that to compare to the 917 even when it is going slow.
He was using the Miata as a reference point familiar to most people for how tall the 917 is, or rather how low it is.
917k only raced two years. I saw them at Sebring and Daytona when I was 11/12...Thanks DAD!!
La Porsche 917K l'auto da corsa più bella del mondo da applausi👏👏👏👏👏👏
Magnifique, elle fait partie du patrimoine de l'humanité Merci de conserver et d'entretenir de telles merveilles d'ingénéries
Vous avez tout à fait raison cette voiture à un son envoûtant qui laisse transparaître une puissance incroyable ( j en ai entendu et vu tourner eu Mans classic ) les matra ms 670 me fonts le même effet cette musique de donne des frissons à chaque fois
Ce sonts des auto fantastique qui me fonts rêver depuis tout petit 😍
Nothing compares to the sound of a flat 12 . Her beauty is the cherry on top
Klasse! Schönste Rennstrecke der Welt mit dem schönsten Rennwagen der je gebaut wurde und dem besten Sound!
Une voiture belle et légendaire absolument inoubliable. Merci pour cette excellente vidéo.
Legend of the 70s. still beautiful
Immortal....
Gran Turismo 7 Super License S-10 brought me here
I recall the automotive print media from 1969 when this car, in its original longtail form, was first raced at Spa: It was the first time I ever read about drivers being very apprehensive, bordering on being frightened, driving this car at race speeds.
Gorgeous, great job, great work, congrats.
Arrugaba el pavimento. Una verdadera bestia. Fabuloso !
The most beautiful car ever built.
Roddaro ha sia questa con i colori gulf che una Martini..bravo!
Priceless
The greatest car ever built. When they raced at Spa they were lapping eleven, yes, eleven seconds a lap quicker than Formula One cars could.
Formula one cars from which period? Modern formula one cars can do Spa in under 1:50 all day, K would be surprosed if this could lap Spa in under 2 minutes. I love the 917, but its not quite that fast, unless you are comparing it to formula one cars from at least a few years before this was ever around.
@@tome1903 Read my post again. 'When they raced at Spa' and 'quicker than Formula One cars could'. Not quicker than F1 cars can. And the track today is not the same as then, it is all ladylike and super safe for the girls racing today so there is no direct comparison.
@@Patmofar Okay, you missed the point of my comment. Formula 1 cars from which period? You'd have to go back at least 5-10 years from when the 917 was made if not further to find a Formula 1 car faster than the 917. That's what I was trying to get at, and at that point, it's not a fair comparison anyways.
@@tome1903 s
@@tome1903 stop being a hater, ie waste of enthalpy...
Really nice car! Great video!👍
sounds amazingly like a beast!!!!
That 917 looks beautiful and the pantara is not too bad
Good Lord- the 917 being followed in by a Pantera........ 2 of my all time faves
I really also like the 911, that understandably sits in the background
This livery, man, I swear...
Ikr. Talk about iconic.
That Porsche is something 👌. Showing regular supercars on that track dust !
The 917 is the greatest car ever created, 30 yrs ahead of its time, haters don’t reply because,....”you know nothing John snow”....
Watching the track footage…that thing has an absolutely menacing presence.
My old old toyota tacoma came with the cold-weather package for the colorado mountains. In winter when started, it idles fast for a few minutes like this race car, until she's warmed up.
Great video! What a car! 😍 Thank you.
IM 😎
Best sound ever ! 😊
Simply the best racing car ever! And i am not a porsche fanboy!
That car is priceless
Pantera guy was a bit aggressive. Did stuck indicator tell him to go? Almost took out a photographer. Karma got him with the Marshall's in the end.
indeed, wtf was that about
He was getting passed by everything with a motor out there later in the day.
See above comment, my response to comment from Inverted Bat. LOL
That livery is zo iconic
Truely a car designed by the Gods!
0:59 this is what the core of a black hole must sound like
I think you are right.
2:10 Beautiful symphony...
Takes me back to Riverside International Raceway Los Angeles Times 24 Grand Prix of Endurance every year had free tickets to RIR and Ontario Motor Speedway....
Dad worked for the LA Times Telephone Directory Division
I sure miss Riverside International! One year while switching drivers I seen them pull a driver out and he was still in the driving position... that's how grueling endurance races are.... amazing!
911s are the greatest sports car of all time.
Brutal, majestic, uncompromising... then they bolted on the turbos.
Love your videos!
Thanks
Hope he gets gold in this.
Beauty and beast
My favorite car of all time.
Two observations…
I thought it was hilarious when someone passed them in the pits.
I said out loud, to no one listening: “that’s the only time they will ever pass
That car🙄🤣!”
Also, I lived in Tampa in the 80’s.
If you saw someone driving for that long with their
right blinker on, you assumed they were from
St Pete!
917K...A LEGEND - - - and also the PANTERA... those are monuments. Yo, a very good example again! Your petrol-nose always finding the right stuff for us racecar enthusiasts ;) THANK YOU very much, "BM" !!! And F..K off electric "Cars".
180 degrees = flat 12 engine, six cylinders per side. It gives a much lower center of gravity. At the time Spa ran on the old, ultra-high-speed, eight mile street course. With the JWR Gulf 917s running the fastest race ever there -- even faster than that year's Indy 500 -- team driver Brian Redman told me the cornering Gs were so heavy the car was actually flexing so badly it crazed the perspex windshield. He said he couldn't see straight ahead and was driving at those kind of speeds by looking out the side windows and judging where the course was going by the advertising banners on the crash walls. Talk about brave! 😮
Wonderful machine!
Wow wow wow. Great car. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
My fav racing car
The top of the top.

wo wo woooooo
Ahhhhh….sweet music.
Crazy old man, driving around with his blinker on.
amazing exibhition
Timeless !!
What a beast
"Hey, dude! It looks like you have a nail in that back tire! Ya better check it out...!"
Sounds way better than any 6 cylinder Porsche
Just imagine flooring it in the raidillon, or doing 200+ on the muslanne straight in the late 60s, gosh we do not make such cars anymore what a shame
Totally badass.
Yes, this thing is a monster, 800 kg and 600 bhp and so much down force .
1200-1500hp they say
Racing royalty.
Perfect
Best car ever made.
Well more like nicest.
how do I get to be any of these guys involved with this car?
That's awesome
Good solid German engineering-again.
interesting,the pairing of Vic Elford and Dickie Attwood on the sides.did they ever share a Gulf 917?
Número 1 en SP. Nunca nada parecido
I don’t see the center rear spoiler on this one. does this mean that it is less stable ? the early versions of this car were extremely dangerous to drive and they modified them to make them more stable.
when Jesus comes back I hope He is driving a 917...
Every time I see this car it gives me nightmares. Over 20 hours I put in to obtain a Super Licence in GT7 to get a gold medal. This car handled like an uncontrollable monster on an unforgiving damp track. I hate it. Damn you GT7.
Q: How many spoilers do you have? Porsche: Yes.
