Only the CamAm 917/30 had that much power. Other configs had from 500-800hp, with exact power depending on config and the rules for the series it ran in.


When they debuted, they did ~230 down the Mulsanne straight at Le Mans. Now that is fast!

Someone please confirm this, I've heard that the 917/30 hit 222mph at Road America between the kink and Canada corner and that that is the top speed record for that track. If that's true, holy s--t that's fast.

Methinks I'm hearing..a Turbocharger?
What gives?

GG Allin

It's either a 956 or a 962.

Yeah it's not a 917. you can here the wastegate and the dashboard isn't correct. Probably a 956/962 as said above. But it's still a quick lap!!

Is that a Ferrari 512 that the Porsche passes during the video?
