Last weekend I recorded a 1969 Porsche 917 (chassis 025) racing at Monza Circuit during the “1000 km Challenge” race revival, a 3 hours race in which race cars from 1960 to 1970 compete for the victory.
This Porsche 917-025 was built for Porsche AG as a long-tail version. In 1970 was converted into a 917 “K” (K stay for Kurzheck, “short” in german), painted in white with blue stripes and sold to Team Zitro, from Switzerland. 917’s won at Le Mans in 1970 and 1971
The car is moved by a 4.5 liter Flat-12 engine which can produce 580hp at 8300 rpm and it’s able to reach a top speed over 240 mph.
