Porsche 917 LH

Notas Adicionales

The Porsche 917 LH was the second new model version made in cooperation with the 2017 racing game Project CARS 2, developed by Slightly Mad Studios and published by Bandai Namco Entertainment.

It is based on the real-life Porsche 917 LH, ‘Langheck’ (Long Tail). Only five 917 LH were made and competed in the endurance racing in the 1970 and 1971 seasons.

The first release of the Hot Wheels 917 LH is a replica of the car #18 driven by Pedro Rodriguez and Jackie Oliver, chassis 917-043, at the 1971 24 Hours of Le Mans; despite having the fastest qualifying time and setting a new lap record they did not complete the race. The car still exists and has been restored to its livery from the previous year (1970) and is on display at the Simeone Foundation Auto Museum.
