1973 Porsche 917/30 Can Am






Chassis: 917/30-006 

With the 917/30 program coming to an abrupt end at the end of 1973, three of the six designed frames were never completed in period. Chassis 917/30-006 was already at Penske's workshop ready to be built up as one of the 1974 team cars when the Can-Am entry was axed. In 1982 the existing parts were acquired by legendary Porsche dealer Vasek Polak and he set about assembling sufficient parts to complete the car. He finally succeeded in 1995 and shortly after sold the car. Since then it has been regularly raced and is seen here at the 2009 Monterey Historic Races where Porsche was the featured marque.

Chico o chassis 006 produz "sómente" 1100HP."Uma merréca".
Agora, o chassis 002, patrocinado pela SUNOCO, lindaço em azul e amarelo, talvez o Porsche mais famoso da série Cam-AM, chegava perto dos 1300HP.

Parado do jeito que estava, quando tirei estas fotos, já foi o suficiente pra fazer minhas pernas bambas.
