Tu Ho the long tail/short tail is a long story involving the John Wyer team, sheet aluminum and duct tape. Porsche subsequently developed later versions of the long tail and the 71 long tail was said to handle well. By the way can I ask if you’re Vietnamese?
Agreed, Yea silver and the martini strip looks better than white....the martini team 908k And 911 rsr from targa florio/le man look beautiful too...... Both silver with martini livery.
@@aidanjohnson7571 The road part about this car is that It can drive on it, legally, somehow (How it got passed we may never know) , mental car though, that much power, almost no down force, mechanical grip, it must be quite difficult to handle ......
Yeah the silver one is the former count Rossi car. There once was another road legal 917 in Germany. White, with mufflers, turn signals and roof mounted mirror. That is now converted back to racing spec as it was before it became road legal.
wasnt there a turbo version of this car that made 1500hp and 800kg of weight or something like that 47 YEARS AGO??? EDIT: from wiki: "The 917/30 was the most powerful sports car racer ever built and raced. The 5.374-litre 12 cylinder (90.0 x 70.4 mm) twin-turbocharged engine could produce 1,580 bhp (1,180 kW) in qualifying tune[citation needed] with twin turbochargers run up to full boost, 39 psi (2.7 bar)[citation needed], though it usually raced with around 1,100 bhp (820 kW) at 7,800 rpm to preserve the engine. Weighing 1,800 lb (820 kg), giving it a power to weight of 1967.36 bhp/tonne in qualifying tune[citation needed] and 1369.68 bhp/tonne in race tune."
Yes, there was. Originaly they were built for European long distance racing like Le Mans. After that they were used in the American CANAM series, and evolved to the version you mention above.
Yep it makes me laugh when the latest generation of GTR/Supra fan boys rave about how it can be tuned more than 1000bhp and real top tier manufacturers make engines that cant (Ferrari, Porsche, BMW etc) 1973 kids 1973...
Maybe an unpopular opinion, but I find the commentary to be unnecessary. The sound of these engines are half the experience and you're ruining it for us who can't be there in the flesh.
