Carrera 1970 Porsche 917K 'Salzburn No. 23' Digital Slot Car (1/24) (fs)

The Porsche 917 is one of the fastest production car ever produced. The factory-backed 917s included the Gulf-sponsored JWA team led by LeMans veteran John Wyer. Under his direction, engineer John Horsmann solved a stability problem by cutting off the rear section of the bodywork and replacing it with a new aluminum section. Porsche later adopted this solution for most of their cars, calling them Kurzheck (short-tail) or 917K. In the 1970s, Hans Herrmann and Richard Attwood drove their Salzburg red and white 917K to Porsche’s first overall victory at Le Mans.
