Porsche 917K Number 92 Watkins Glen Can-Am 1971 Van Lennep by CMR Models
The Porsche 917K stands as one of motorsport's most iconic machines, born from Porsche's relentless pursuit of Can-Am supremacy in the early 1970s. This particular example, number 92, piloted by the legendary Gijs Van Lennep at Watkins Glen in 1971, represents a pivotal moment in racing history when the 917K dominated the North American racing scene with its distinctive long-tail aerodynamics and raw 580-horsepower flat-12 engine. This 1:18th scale model captures the authentic spirit of that era with meticulous attention to detail. Hand-assembled using premium die-cast construction, every panel, vent, and racing livery reflects the original's engineering precision. The model features hand-painted graphics that honour Van Lennep's championship-winning campaign. Museum-quality finish and robust engineering ensure this collectible will remain a centrepiece of any serious diecast collection for decades to come. A tribute to Porsche's golden age of motorsport and the drivers who pushed these machines to their limits.
