The Porsche 917/30 was the most powerful sports car ever built and raced . The 5.374 liter 12 cylinder twin turbo charged engine could produce 1,560 HP with twin turbo chargers run up to full boost, even though it raced with around 1,100 HP at 7800 RPM to preserve the engine.

"How This Porsche 917/30 Animation Came About"

I got a hold of an authentic 1972 Porsche 917 engine sound file and created an animation for this high revving engine. In addition, I took Mark Donohue's and Team Penske's 1973 Road America Can-Am Winner in his Porsche 917/30 and combined it with the 917K Porsche body used by Steve McQueen in the movie "Le Mans".

I know this race car is pure fantasy, but it was fun to think about how this car would have done at Le Mans with Pedro Rodriguez at the wheel. If only the FIA had not banned 5.0 Liter Cars with its new rule changes in December of 1971!
