klein stukje:
Towards the end of it´s trajectory, the 917 had evolved in such a way that it had practically annihilated all opposition; it turned nicely and counted with generous power that easily surpassed the 600 BHP barrier.

In spite of the efforts from Ferrari, Alfa Romeo and Matra among other makes, it´s supremacy was so evident, that the F.I.A. determined with a new change in regulations, that 1971 would be tha last year that the 917 would ever race.

The Porsche 917 was acclaimed as "The Greatest Racing Car of all time" in an expert poll conducted by Motor Sport Magazine in 1997

In the 2000 edition of the Le Mans race, a Jury, composed by specialized journalists, declared the porsche 917 as the "Car of the Century at Le Mans"
