As a little boy, 7 or 8, I noticed all the movies, cartoons and kids shows, dubbed every fast car with the same note, and (sadly) no 'real' car ever sounded like that. It was the mid '80s before I discovered what that sound came from - it was the 917. I'm now 50. All my life, this is what a fast car SHOULD sound like.
@@Panzer_Runner It's the sound your blood makes when it goes 'zing'. It's the sound of your license flapping away while the cop asks for it while one hand is on his side arm. Over 50 years now I've been a motor sport fan, and nothing sounds as good as that. Ok, a last generation V-10 Ferrari at 18,ooo rpm, those sounded pretty damn good too....

Vielen Dank für dieses schöne Video!!! Das ist so krass!!! Es zeigt, das in den 50 jahre jungen 917ern noch jede Menge Potential und vor allem Racing Spirit steckt, mit dem die modernen Rennställe nicht mithalten können! ... Mein Traum seit ich ein Kind gewesen bin;... 3 fertige 917er in Le Mans, 3facher Klassensieg..in 2022!!! Das war der Wahnsinn!!!!!!!!
Just imagine, the later CanAm Porsche 917/30 could hit 200mph from standstill, in a little under 17sec, and top out at nearly 240mph. Depending on the circuit, the engine could be pushing out over 1400Hp.
@@thethirdman225theyre both 917, both have the same engine IIRC just one is bored out and turbocharged, and both were excellent racecars that won their respective races
@@micahhicks88 up around 8300, but in a 24hr race they're going to want to preserve the engine, and the torque curve was optimal at 6400, so probably not much over that unless a Ferrari or a Lola was crawling up your tailpipe!
This is an excellent video for camera position. Makes you feel like you are actually in the drivers seat. And........... the exhaust tone "Resonance!!" ladies we love you but some times it's hard for you to compete.
Or those bloody corners after pit straight jinking all over the place before and after Dunlop Bridge. Give me that flat throttle right hander up and over the brow before dropping down to the esses any time.
Now that's what a RACE CAR SOUNDS LIKE! Nothing beats the 917, except the darn FIA! The 917 was too good too fast for it's own good! Ferdinand Piech designed a brilliant race car. My favorite of all time!

What a SOUND! That is music to the ears of anyone of a mechanical inclination! WOW!

I absolutely agree!
The sound of a Flat 12

Don't forget the 427 powered Ford GT 40 (won Le Mans 3 years in a row!); it's no slouch either.
I completely agree with you brother, sometimes I feel myself actually craving this sound
That tortured animal howl from the flat 12 makes my flesh crawl. And I like that, big time!
Incredible noise from one of the truly great cars of any era!
Just listen to the howl of that air-cooled Flat-12!
It has a radiator up front
The Porsche 917, making every other car on the track look like they're stuck in second gear.
It's a video with NO DISLIKES.
I was about to change that but I didn't want to influence my recommendations in a negative way. So, there you go.
@@CS_Mango Why would you dislike lmao. You are one of those ppl

"What a beautiful noise"
It's just wrong seeing a 917 have to take those Mulsanne chicanes.
sounds like a car designed by thor the god of thunder. wow !!! the greatest racing car ever designed !
Flat 12, Baby!
Holy Shit - this lap is insane.
F1 should dub this sound so we don't have to listen to the dull V6t's.
Indy Cars sound like theirs something loose, just plain awful

Gotta love this racing beast!! This will be the Highway Patrol's worst nightmare!!!!
beautiful sounds! shame they ruined the track!

Nothing to do with this car.

@@eriktruchinskas3747 Alike in name only. They shared few components, since the original 912 engine was an extrapolation of the 350 hp 908 engine.
A nice leisurely trot around LeMans.
Bump up the RPMs up about 1K and things will get exciting 👍
How high do these things rev up to?

Grrrrrr! Grrrr!! Grrrrrr!!! i am the baddest Porsche on the planet just listen to me roar...!!
....watch the movie "Le Mans"....you will get some great in car camera footage of the original circuit!
Music to the ear...
el auto sport mas espectacular de todas las epocas, suena como un rey de las pistas
Brilliant, thanks for sharing
Insane Flat 12
If you listen carefully you can actually hear the car cry a little when it reaches the chicane on the straight
Wow
what a monster???
For fear of sounding a bit sexist, that is the most manly car ever!

"Sometimes"... 🤭
Music!
El mejor domador de estas bestias sin duda Pedro Rodriguez
Super,super,super
WHAT A MOTHER.........
What Sim/Game Platform is being used here? Sound is incredible.
A, true LEGAND.
Superb video, but sadly without display of speed.
This is not the 1970 or 1971 track layout.
I thought they would open up the chicane for classic Le Mans
Come see the race
Sunday drive in a 917?
like flying a sopwith camel
the Porsche 910 looked as if stopped!!!!!!
They added chicanes in 1990. Folks this is not the classic track. Great vid though.
Yep, came here to say the same. Sigh.
From Mulsanne Straight to Mulsanne *Stripped! >-
must be practice lap based on throttle
thats not the classic version
Y eso que va paseando, si lo acelera de verdad debe tener dos mil o dos mil quinientas vueltas más.
Now that's some 'toxic masculinity'. 😂
And those other cars were probably hauling ass. LOL
Too bad Eu Rouge and the esses have been ruined.
Not classic Le Mans!
Le Mans is broken... Nobody likes the 2 chicanes down the back straight!
Boring.
Or those bloody corners after pit straight jinking all over the place before and after Dunlop Bridge. Give me that flat throttle right hander up and over the brow before dropping down to the esses any time.
The chicanes were put there because the drivers wanted them.
