Richard Attwood driving the Porsche 917K at Goodwood

[Nosturbo]

Great to see Richard give the beast a proper run up the hill rather than just showing it off, nothing better :)

[mcpedrooo]

que caro rapido fodasse .

[thenicedudejay]

there are no better sounding race car, well maybe the Mazda 787b then.

[lyndonlongden]

there is truly no better looking race car.

[Chuichupachichi]

The 917 & I were born on precisely the same day, March 13, 1969, when Porsche unleashed it upon the world at the Geneva Motor Show

Its no wonder that its the greatest racing car in all of motorsport history

@nemo13535 a raison s'est une réplique , mais 12 cylindres boxer est là

Better than sex

[Xxporsche917kxX]

amazing car and amazing sound, bu hard to imagine that the gearbox was only a 4 speed,but what a beast!

[Nemo13535]

If i,m not mistaken this is the number 23 car 917k that won the 24hrs le-mans in the hands of legendary racing driver HANS HERRMANN first overall victory for porsche in the summer of 1970 Hans who was 42 retired after this victory.

[scribbett]

@Nemo13535 It is number 23 but it's not the original car but a factory replica. Hans Herrmann won the Le Mans race driving with Richard Attwood in 1970, who is shown here driving at Goodwood.

[Hasseta]

the 917 K is my favourite car *-*

[12valvepower1]

my dog is a boxer. my wrx has a boxer. of course this amazing machine has a boxer.

[seancarsonuk]

@12valvepower1 It doesn't actually. It has a 180 degree V-12 i.e. 2 con rods per crank pin. In a true boxer engine each rod has its own crank pin.

[smshea]

One word....WOW! I am so jealous!

[Rebo8221]

Sounds Like a OLD V8 lol, Heart Pumping action!

[AnAngryPossom]

@Rebo8221 yeah except it's a flat 12 lol :P

[supercooled]

@AnAngryPossom Had I not known, I would of thought all Porsches were flat sixers. I guess I'm a lazy Porsche fan because I've never cared to research what their racing division uses but I would imagine a flat 12 would produce a gob smack of power given how much of a monster their flat sixers are. That cockpit is a man's domain. Tight, everything is where you want it and no 2nd seat for some whiny passenger to complain about your excessive speeds.

[AnAngryPossom]

@supercooled Oh yeah the flat 12 racing engine was absolutely brutal. I think they only used it in the 917 and the 917 spider. It has a good bit of punch going down the straights and that noise it makes! sweet music. These were probably the most hardcore racing cars Porsche ever made. And you're right, you want to pilot one of those and you have to be a man's man. This car is not one to take prisoners.

[MichaelIanHenry]

@AnAngryPossom Also the 917 K Twin turbo of the Can Am series also, if I'm not mistaken bro. Although its been so long...lol showing my age I suppose. Either way good lord what a sweet sound!

[TheKraitman]

@supercooled The Sunnaco 917k,was rated as the worlds fastest car ever designred to navigate a road course.Meaning,unlike those clown cars of NASCAR,this 256+ mph car can litterly be driven on an open road,at night and in the rain,try than Kyle Bush.And,yes,it can be configuerd with 2 seats,but its more like a small bench seal with a seperator,real tight,but yea,a mans,mans car,Like Steve McQueen

[Nemesis093781]

Great video 917 sounded wonderful, thank you for the HD Porsche.

Thumbs up.

[mrjost55]

great car, thanks for these video, Porsche.

p.s.: I wonder if that water bottle is their makeshift fire extinguisher :D

[matiaspg7]

It's a beautiful car! And it really sounds great! Iove Porsche!

[T018]

well that got my heart pumping

[lamborgboy]

This 917 is awesome and looks like a proper race car
