With the 917, Porsche finally claimed the prize it had long
soughtoutright victory in the Le Mans 24 Hours. After winning Le Mans
in 1970 the 917 enjoyed tremendous success in the sports car racings
International Championship for Manufacturers before leading a second
life as the all-conquering, 1100-horsepower turbocharged Can-Am racer.
This huge and beautifully illustrated book describes the breathtaking
development and the innovative technology of this amazing car. The
authors interviewed engineers, drivers, technicians, team managers, and
mechanics to produce a contemporary account of the 917. Together these
men tell the story of how the 917 was conceived, designed, and built
and then refined into an even faster, more potent competitor. The most
revealing stories come from the racers themselves, as they candidly
recall their successes and failures in the 917 and explain why they both
loved and hated this legendary car.
This updated and extended second edition of the successful book Porsche 917: The Heroes, the Victories, the Myth, is an even more comprehensive documentation of the legendary sports car from Porsche's Zuffenhausen factory.
With text in both English and German, Porsche 917: The Heroes, the Victories, the Myth
is the most complete collection of 917 facts, data, and anecdotes,
including driver biographies and complete international race results.
The book also features scores of evocative photographs and memorabilia,
many of them previously unpublished.
