Porsche 917K

[Alex H]

Never mind that it's one of the most sexual looking cars ever - the engine... 4500cc FLAT-12 580bhp @8300rpm.

The noise of the downshifts - made something dribble out of many orifices...

 

[Clart]

Brutal.

 

[Alan]

THAT downshift !

I was fortunate enough to be in the Silverstone wing when they warmed up one of these cars prior to one of the historic sport car races at Silverstone Classicthis year! I can upload the video to YouTube if anyone's interested?

What a machine!! Thanks for the vid mate!

Really impressive for a Porsche IMO! Love how wide the wheels are and the noise it makes!

There are only 2 Porsches in the world that I like.

The 917 and the 962.

1970 Salzburg 917 was at silverstone classics.

How do I upload a vid from my phone?

 

[Adamm.]

I don't think you can, unless it's on a hosting site of some sort?

 

[JD]

Ok. I'll work it out.

 

[Adamm.]

Ok nobby .

 

[JD]

Pipe.

Short vid. Look at my others for other 70s LM cars from last weekend.

Nice, I thought you started to cheer as this one when past!

 

[JD]

We did. Oli Bryant was driving. Mate of ours. Only one going flat out balls out.

 

[Adamm.]

Sweet looked like a nice day out. Need to get up silverstone more when there's things like this on, gives me something to do and is only up the road.

 

[JD]

Mate honestly, it's the weekend each year I look forward to the most. 3 days of classics, drinking and banter with the boys.

 

[Adamm.]

Awesome! sounds like a nice weekend then, can't beat a bit of vintage metal
