Crazy!! Beautifully done though.
The real one is in the New Porsche Museum at Weissach in Germany and there is a replica (real 917 with the wrong paint) in the car museum at the Le Mans track in France. It is one of the best looking 917s in my opinion.

That's just plane blasphemous. :yuck:

OK...credit where credit is due. The car does look impressive.

The french should have made that engine mandatory for the 917 in 1970.
Jackie would have won again!
