About the Real Porsche 917K #2
The Porsche 917K (“Kurzheck” or Short Tail) is one of the most iconic race cars in endurance racing history. Used by top drivers like Jo Siffert and Kurt Ahrens Jr., the 917K became a dominant force in the early 1970s, particularly in the World Sportscar Championship and at classic endurance events.
The #2 Siffert/Ahrens car is well known for its eye-catching yellow and red Sunoco-style livery, unique aerodynamic surfaces, and its reputation as one of the most memorable 917 paint schemes ever produced.
