New reference of the incredible Porsche 917K by Pocher, reproducing another of its most famous versions, sponsored by an icon like Martini. A model that won the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 1971, making use of the vertical rear fins in search of better stability on the straight line. A kit that, with more than 315 pre-painted parts, promises many hours of quality modelling.

The Porsche brand, and its ambitious head of development Ferdinand Piéch, had finally managed to win at Le Mans in 1970. Along with the win, Porsche also dominated the world sports car championship with the revised version of the 917K.

The following year, Porsche returned to Le Mans in full force. Of the 49 participants, 33 were vehicles from the Zuffenhausen brand, including three 917Ks, three 917LHs and the new and unique 917/20.

Always on the lookout for new ideas and technologies to reduce weight, Porsche had built a prototype with a magnesium tubular chassis, dressed it in Martini colours, and put two drivers at the controls who were not only extremely fast, but also particularly kind to the vehicle. These drivers were Helmut Marko and Gijs van Lennep, and driving the number 22 Porsche 917K they came to the finish line as winners after completing a whopping 397 laps. This meant setting the record for the distance travelled with 5,335.313 kilometres, a record that had to wait 39 years for it to be broken by an Audi R15 TDI in 2010.

To round off Porsche's success in 1971, another Porsche 917K, driven by Herbert Müller and Richard Attwood, finished the race in second place.
