What's a 917-20? or is that supposed to be 30? Why did Porsche skip over the 20? or did they? | |

I believe the 917/20 is the notorious "pink pig" 917 that had the sectioned cuts of pork livery.It's pretty wild.Alain deCadenet said it literally "sucked him of the road" at LeMans.He probably just lost it.Haha | |

Sorry Paolo for being a bit of a smart ass but the 917/20
is something like this:
Some drivers and engineers said it was the perfect 917, others just didn`t come to grips with that 2,20 metres wide piggy. | |

eheh..and u wellknow I love your pointing Marcus.
I was even looking at Minichamps website ( Willkommen bei Minichamps / Welcome to Minichamps )..and they also make the piggy car..even named as a 917/20, as well as the one I posted before.
So, why this big difference in the same (model)car?
Paolo

No kiddin" that was the 20. I never knew that. I wonder if the mysterious 16 cylinder successor to the 30 was going to be the 40. I think they actually had the engine together.
