About the Real Porsche 917K #2 (Daytona Winner 1970)
The Porsche 917K (“Kurzheck” or Short Tail) was engineered for dominance, and in 1970, the #2 Gulf-Porsche car delivered a spectacular performance at the 24 Hours of Daytona, securing overall victory. The pairing of Kinnunen and Rodríguez was legendary—Rodríguez drove through pouring rain at record pace, creating one of the greatest endurance-racing performances ever recorded.
The Gulf colors light blue with orange center stripe remain some of the most iconic racing visuals in motorsport history.
