Beautiful machine, made when Porsche was still an engineering company and competition sold the brand. We'll never see the likes of these again.

What was the output of these engines - ~1,000 HP?

Any chance you are bringing it to Road America this weekend. Big Brian Redman vintage race and the Marque is Porsche.

While I have seen the posted photos of the prototype 16-cylinder unit, I think this car is most likely a flat-12. If you want to hear what it sounds like at full throttle at redline, watch the movie "Le Mans" with the stereo turned up

Waaaaaaaaaay cool. Thanks for the pics. Nothing like some good old 917 to put a smile on your face...

Mark in Baltimore

IIRC, the NA 917's produced a bit under 600 hp. The turbocharged 917-30 that dominated Can-Am racing and set a new closed course speed record at Talladega produced 1100 hp and allegedy flashed up to around 1500 hp. UFB.

yeah mark that's correct- the 917-30 had 4 turbos actually...good times!

my dream would be the 962- that's the *****. 700 hp from a 2.8 liter engine
