          This 917 won Le Mans in 1971. The average speed record lasted for 39 years. it also won the index of efficiency. Air-cooled flat 12 produced 600 hp. It raced only one time, then went to the Porsche museum.

                  And check this out - just a pic I found of Hans Mezger in the engineering offices. I was trying to figure out why they had a 4 cyl head gasket drawing....a 924? Looked closer at that valve cover.....it's the V8 Indy engine.

                                I just listened to that 3x. Not ashamed that I was pretending to heal toe while crushing some excel spreadsheets and listening to that at work.
