Porsche 917 're-creation' from Elite Enterprises:
The Porsche 917 is widely regarded as one of the greatest racing cars of all time. Its performance not only contributed to Porsche's legendary status in motorsports, but also influenced technical innovations and design elements that have been adopted in later sports cars.
To this day, the Porsche 917 remains a coveted collector’s item (with a price tag of over 16,000,000 euros) for car enthusiasts and collectors worldwide. Its impact on motorsports and timeless design make it an enduring legend that continues to inspire generations.
Fortunately, there is a solution for lovers of this iconic car, without having to pay millions. Enter a world of speed, style and innovation with the iconic Porsche 917 re-creation, the: Laser 917, a masterpiece created by Elite Enterprises in 1972. Based on the legendary Porsche 917 that made its mark on motorsports with victories at the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 1970 and 1971, the Laser 917 offers a unique opportunity to own a piece of automotive history.
Designed by Harry Bradley, the Laser 917 combines a sleek, futuristic design with the charm of yesteryear. With its low, wide stance and striking gullwing doors, this car is a real eye-catcher that always turns heads. Although not an exact replica, the Laser 917 captures the essence and character of the original Porsche 917 in an artistic and stylish way.
With only 679 units produced, the Laser 917 is a rarity in the automotive world. Thanks to the licensing agreement with Chrysler Motor Corporation, which took over the "Laser" name in 1982, this car has cemented its place in the history books.
The interior of this car is a showcase of 70s circuit racing and style. The black leather on the seats is well maintained. Light signs of use and age are present but they certainly do not detract from the looks of this 917 re-creation. Furthermore, the car is equipped with its well-matching alloy wheels on Radial G/T Cooper Cobra tires with white lettering, which fit perfectly with the time period of this car.
Under the hood is a punchy 1.5L VW engine that delivers more than enough power for this lightweight car to create an exciting driving experience.
The car is still in good condition in its #027 Guards red paint, with the exception of some light signs of use and cracking in the paint on the roof that do not detract from the overall 'look and feel' of this car.
Are you a collector looking for a unique piece for your collection? Or perhaps you are a car enthusiast who appreciates the beauty of a timeless classic? The Laser 917 is an invitation to relive the charm of the 70s and bring the excitement of motorsports into your own garage.
