By far the best compilation (same car) of the Porsche 917K ever. Been a huge fan of this icon since my childhood. Rugged, brutal, simple, reliable, and f'n fast! Remember back in 70, sports cars like the 917 were lapping tracks faster than F1 cars. Phenomenal!
9:09 Uuuuffff... that was absolutely perfect!! What I love about Group C race cars and some other classic race cars, is that the sounds are like the rawest, purest, most analog sounds an engine can make.
I've said it before and I'll say it again; I'm rather partial to the Ford GT40 but the Porsche 917 and the Ferraris, and others of this period, are the most beautiful cars to ever grace a track. Never again will cars be this beautiful.
You gotta love those long tail Flat 12’s singing. I never get tired of hearing or watching these legendary beauties. Even the modern Audi’s have to work to keep up.
I know the 917/30 that destroyed Can Am was a ridiculous machine, which I have the highest respect for, but this is literally in my top 3 (race) cars ever created….. Such a legend.
Developed from scratch in just one year, undriveable at the beginning and THE race car eventually! What a masterpiece of engineering! Thanks for this footage!
One of the most evocative racecars with the most unique exhaust notes in racing history. 1m36sec. That Bosch mechanical fuel injection pump looks like a Cummins P-Pump! Massive!
One of my favorite race cars with one of favorite color schemes. Orange and blue is my favorite color combo, though I prefer orange and navy blue a little bit more. I love the big fat tires you can easily see in the open rear end of the car. It sounds lovely as well. Awesome car.
Best looking race car of all time to me! So low and wide and aggressive and that wonderful engine. I'm a big Porsche guy but regardless I still think this is one of the greatest ever. Thanks Bozzy!
Dont think so, that would be the Simca Matra V12, this sounds like an old clattering air cooled beetle compared to the Matra....but I love it anyway LOL.
When you see the frame work you really see how lightweight it is,, what a concept it was and is, truly marvelous car,, Derek Bell and others heroes,, from Northern Ireland ☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️
Just imagine, for a few seconds, being told to unleash this animal by your boss/team manager, because he knows you can manage it……As a car guy, who loves the period when THIS was what your team dreamt of being able to bring to any track, and then, as a driver, being told to find out what it can do…This is what I consider heaven. Strap me in, for eternity…..

The most iconic racing car of all time, I have never been particularly fond of covered wheels, since I was a kid for me racing cars were touring and sports prototypes and the Porsche 917 was my favorite. In September 2020 I was invited to Monza to attend the races of the European historic car trophy and it is there that I was able to see that 917, truly exciting and breathtakingly beautiful. Congratulations for the correct description of the history of the chassis 008, a particularly important example (the nose of the first series were, however, green and not blue). Very beautiful and interesting as always your videos. Thank you
Both 12 cylinder but s there aren’t really that many other similarities. The Porsche is a flat 12, the GTO is V12. Porsche is air cooled, GTO water cooled. Porsche has fuel injection, GTO is carbureted. And the Porsche is roughly 50% bigger displacement.
Takes me back to Pedro Rodriguez and Leo Kinnunen winning the BOAC 500 at Brands Hatch in 1970 in atrocious weather. I was nearly run over by a spinning Lola T70 on the pit straight at the end of the first lap. I was there with some journalists in a Honda N600 and we were allowed to stand much too close to the track. The Porsche was the most spectacular but also difficult to drive racing car of its era. The Ferrari 512 were good too but less reliable and the T 70s sound was phenomenal.
The 917K Porsche is one amazing car with a unique flat 12 cylinder engine. It's no wonder that Steve McQueen chose this car for his movie 24 hours of Le Man

This has to be one of the most brutal sounding Porsches ever made.
actually its not, there is a video th-cam.com/video/wrKyL2KQ_OU/w-d-xo.html
@@giratina_86 But that one's ugly :-/
@@dallesamllhals9161 the 911 turbo?
@@giratina_86 Oh no! The 911 lines = eternal beauty. BUT that vulgar dragster, the start picture, naaah ;-)
@@dallesamllhals9161 Liar
Probably my favourite racing car of all time. TIMELESS!
actually very nice to see how they still push these cars really good
That’s what racecars are tuned for, they start doing weird shit if you babysit them
917 it's either full throttle or nothing. Not designed to drive slowly.
Legend.....there's nothing more to say
absolutely correct my friend!
The biggest,the most brilliant and the most beautiful racing car ever! Obviously it´s a Porsche! Stay safe!
Definitely not the biggest, it’s pretty small, but Ik what you mean lol
Agree
Biggest in termas of sportivity,design,reliability,we don´t forget that we were in the 70´s last century! Thank you for your coment! Stay safe!
Yeah .. The greatest and yet so tiny..!! 😍👍
"Biggest"? Smallest rather, in size, but huge otherwise.
Most badass race car ever made ! So dominant in every iteration, from the 600 hp Le Mans version to the almost 1400 h.p. Can Am spider , unreal .
Hands down one of the best racing cars ever produced ... What a machine !!!
The single most beautiful thing mankind has ever created.
bozzy, you're THE man! Thx a lot!
No problem, as usual ;)
Good to see it's not rotting away in a collection. This old lady can sure rock most cars on track.
By far the best compilation (same car) of the Porsche 917K ever. Been a huge fan of this icon since my childhood. Rugged, brutal, simple, reliable, and f'n fast! Remember back in 70, sports cars like the 917 were lapping tracks faster than F1 cars. Phenomenal!
I had the pleasure of watching the 917s run at Sebring back in the early 70's factory days. Incredible machine.
I was going to say imagine being lucky enough to see and hear it in person!
What an awesome sounding exhaust note when blasting by at high speed. Kudos to the owner for driving it.
9:09 Uuuuffff... that was absolutely perfect!! What I love about Group C race cars and some other classic race cars, is that the sounds are like the rawest, purest, most analog sounds an engine can make.
9:27 just perfect driving by 917 & cobra. Beautiful

I'm rather partial to the Ford GT40 but the Porsche 917 and the Ferraris, and others of this period, are the most beautiful cars to ever grace a track. Never again will cars be this beautiful.
Excuse me I need to go watch "LeMans" again.
A timeless monster of a car
Overtaking looks effortless in this car
You gotta love those long tail Flat 12’s singing. I never get tired of hearing or watching these legendary beauties. Even the modern Audi’s have to work to keep up.
Its a short tail. K in 917K stands for "kurzheck". The 917K was designed to eliminate the high speed instability of the 917LH.
If you dont love this car you're not a true racing fan!
100% agree 👍
The best race car of all time, the only one that is almost close to it is the Lotus-Ford 72D.
No I´m not a true racing fan, I simply follow the Endurance about 50 years ago, but I´m not a true racing fan... Thank you! Stay safe!
Like the car
That car is what can only best be described as a beast. And they’re being nice right now..
9:09 made me make a double-take the first time I heard it, that shift sounded so phenomenal! Definitely one of my favourite car clips of all time
The car is a legend and so is the livery 🏎️
I know the 917/30 that destroyed Can Am was a ridiculous machine, which I have the highest respect for, but this is literally in my top 3 (race) cars ever created….. Such a legend.
This is the best camera work I’ve seen in terms of showing how small the 917’s are, and the best I’ve seen on the 917, period.
50 years later....and porsche still beautiful
Flat 12 symphony at it's finest. Thanks Bozzy
No problem!
This Porsche 🤝 Gulf paint job
One of the best of all time.
See also the 917 LT painted in pink, "the pink pig"in Le Mans 1971 if I´m right, a true masterpiece! Stay safe!
Developed from scratch in just one year, undriveable at the beginning and THE race car eventually! What a masterpiece of engineering! Thanks for this footage!

Totally agree with you, Jordan. Such a wonderful machine. Thanks for watching!
This car defines as a race car
This is the most beautiful car ever made. It is the best sounding car ever. Amazing video.
Thank you!
Dont think so, that would be the Simca Matra V12, this sounds like an old clattering air cooled beetle compared to the Matra....but I love it anyway LOL.
The cleanest 917K hi res footage I've seen to date. Simply superb. Full stop.
This dude drives the shit out of this car, love to see it
I love the history of this masterpiece. I love the movie LeMans as well with Steve McQueen.
Nothing looks or sounds like a 917 - the flat 12 down and up shifts are Beastly
Damn, what a car
You're name is my name lol
Arguably the greatest race car ever
I love that this gorgeous speed machine has what appears to be napa trialer brakes for taillights lol
Shades of McQueen and Le Mans. Quite possibly the baddest prototype ever. I mean this think looked the business. Thx!
Man, what a car. 😍 And they were fast!
When you see the frame work you really see how lightweight it is,, what a concept it was and is, truly marvelous car,, Derek Bell and others heroes,, from Northern Ireland ☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️
I still have a print in my bedroom of a picture I took of this very car at Dijon-Prenois ! It's was a joy to see it racing 😊
Just like Steve McQueen
One of the best sounding cars ever! Thank you!
You're welcome! Thanks for watching
One of my favorite race cars of Porsche, great video!
Thank you!
The Best( 917k) and with a 911 Carrera targa- my 2 personal choices
They don't make em like that anymore... Thanks for sharing Bozzy!
No problem! Thanks for watching, mate
Awesome...as always!
Such a monumental race car.
I would be in nivara if I could have 1
not only did you see a 917K, you saw it ON TRACK and in the RAIN. Legendary haha
Just imagine, for a few seconds, being told to unleash this animal by your boss/team manager, because he knows you can manage it……As a car guy, who loves the period when THIS was what your team dreamt of being able to bring to any track, and then, as a driver, being told to find out what it can do…This is what I consider heaven.

Outstanding!!!! Thx for the post!!!!
Hmm. Musik to my ears!
The best AND fast car ever
I’ve been waiting for this video for a long time!!! THANK YOU!! Favorite car of all time!
Glad you liked it!
2024 and nothing has ever looked or sounded as fast as this car, ever.
Thank you for sharing🖐️
I love this racing car ,specially in this Gulf livery
The most beautiful one ,ever 😎👍

I remember having an AFX slot car of this Porsche 917. We're talking a looong time ago, so you know this is a classic
Grande Bozzy, super video per una macchina leggendaria
Grazie mille Alessandro
The Epitome of the word "Racecar". A Legend, a Winning Legend.
Bozzy again with the fantastic content.
Glad you appreciated it!
That livery takes me back to watching this iconic car race on ABC's Wide World of Sports
"The Car" Legend..Beautiful

Very beautiful and interesting as always your videos. Thank you
The fact that it is air cooled is crazy
The ultimate weapon if you didn't make any mistakes. Vic Elford and Dickey Attwood are both still around. What savages
Lemans was a great movie
Everyrev time this mech monsterkicks up the revs it gives me a mental"chubbie" 😊❤️😊
I love the sounds! It's kinda unique. Almost similar to ferrari gto

Baddest go-cart in the world!
Air cooled flat 12 Porsche symphony of sound. McQueen's Lemans movie has some of best sound.
this car is holy shit, great vid, 19Bozzy92 is like Tina Turner... simply the best.
hahaha good one, mate XD
What a beautiful noise..... I'll also be pussyfooting around tracks if that was given to drive.... Absolute legend
This was my favorite car when I was a child and I never knew what it was. Until yesterday.
Back in the day this was the pinnacle of racing. It was also the deadliest car to drive.
La 917 a ouvert la voie aux Porsches de courses les plus titrées et les plus rapides.
Uuuuu ma che bella perla questo video 👍
Sai che abbiamo una ''faccenda in sospeso'' con questa 917, neh? Chissà se un giorno ci riusciremo...
@@19Bozzy92 Assolutamente si, petta che si sistemino un po' le cose e vediamo di chiudere il cerchio anche con quest'auto 👍
It still looks gorgeous... How?!
Wooow and with Rear Lights from Hella Company on it.same rear lights my Dad used to have on his Car Trailer.
Super cool
Classic!! Awesome!!!
What abeutiful beast .
Takes me back to Pedro Rodriguez and Leo Kinnunen winning the BOAC 500 at Brands Hatch in 1970 in atrocious weather. I was nearly run over by a spinning Lola T70 on the pit straight at the end of the first lap. I was there with some journalists in a Honda N600 and we were allowed to stand much too close to the track. The Porsche was the most spectacular but also difficult to drive racing car of its era. The Ferrari 512 were good too but less reliable and the T 70s sound was phenomenal.
Aircooled power❤
I LIKE THE BIG WHEELS ON THE PORCHE
I think I can fall asleep to these sounds.
that sounds so good
I saw this car at Watkins Glen!
The G.O.A.T.!!
I'm honoured... it has the same blue Bosch ignition coil as in my '65 Bug!
The 917K Porsche is one amazing car with a unique flat 12 cylinder engine. It's no wonder that Steve McQueen chose this car for his movie 24 hours of Le Man
its eating the competition
Splendide vecchie glorie,che ricordi🙄💪👍👻🤗
Power! (And, of course, a good driver)
I got the 1st place in Panama driving this legend on GT7🔥
I did not know that TH-cam could have porn. OMG that sound! The best racing car ever made and a piece of art
It looks like a spaceship. Like something out of the original Starwars.
