Description
The Porsche 917 is an 'iconic racer' with victories at LeMans in '70 and '71. The design was very progressive for the time because of its aluminium tubular frame weighing only 50 Kg. For propulsion, Porsche had chosen to couple two 911 engines. This resulted in a 4.5-litre V12 engine with a total of 520 hp. Drivers loved the 917 and the 'long tail' in particular managed to break many speed records. Gijs van Lennep's 1971 record at LeMans is a fine example.
French artist Stephane Dufour has found a very quirky way to immortalise iconic models. It starts by creating the basic design, which is made entirely of clay. Using the clay design, a mould is created, which is later used in making a small and limited series. The coloured casting resin is poured into the mould and after curing, the product is carefully sanded to achieve a completely smooth surface.
The designs are one of a kind and have a strong premium look, ideal for in living room, study room or office.
