Cult racing car with recognition value
No later than from the 1000km race on the Nürburgring 1070 onwards, the Porsche 917K gained a lot of attention in racing. At that time, Helmut Kelleners was driving the car and caused a sensation not only because of its eye-catching paint finish. He drove for the Gesipa Racing Team and was given the start number 54. The Porsche 917, fitted with a twelve-cylinder mid-engine, became a symbol of Porsche's success story within the motor sport world in the 1970s. Under the bonnet there were 600 bhp, which gave the car all the power it needed.
The legend of the seventies
The Porsche 917 was one of the most successful sports racing cars of the 1970s. The 12 cylinder V engine powered this Porsche to several victories and made a name for the brand in international motor racing. The 600PS/591.79 hp and the car's robust structure made this Porsche shoot to stellar popularity. The design work on this beauty also speaks for itself. It's a racing car that attracts plenty of attention out on the circuit in the yellow and blue painted livery of the Gesipa Racing team. The Gesipa Racing Team is sure to be ahead of the rest in this car.
