Porsche 917 Living Legend - study with up to 1.000 hp

In just six months, a small team from Weissach designed a homage to the Le Mans winner of 1970. The study with adaptive aerodynamics was painted in the Salzburg design of the time. The latest technology comes under the plastic outer skin. The chassis is based on a carbon monocoque. Components such as wishbones and wheel carriers of the 918 are provided for the front and rear axles, but combined with deflectors and classic spring / damper struts based on racing. An eight-cylinder turbo with up to 1.000 hp provides propulsion. However, a drivable prototype is never created.

Back to the Future

The Porsche 917 stays in your head. Even long after his active career. This is not only shown by the study from 2013 with the shape of the front fenders and the flat nose. Time and again, designers and developers are inspired by the long-term winner and reinterpret the legendary racing car. As early as 1970, when the racing car was still in use, they were working on a model for the automotive future. The Porsche Design Department Style Porsche is responsible for the development of the exterior and interior design in advance development projects and in series implementation. In addition, the department is responsible for the structure and configuration of the digital, virtual and physical design models and the design quality.

The conception, design and implementation of the scope of design of special models, market editions and small series and unique items also fall within the scope of the designer. With their work, they have a major impact on the Porsche brand. The Porsche 917 Living Legend is one of a total of 15 spectacular individual pieces from the book “Porsche Unseen".
