Convincing a manufacturer to create a one-off road-legal version of its most famous race car is something that you can’t really do unless you have 1. a lot of money, and 2. a lot of clout. Thankfully, for the Count Rossi (the owner of Martini) he had plenty of both. So, following a visit to Porsche in Stuttgart in 1974, the wheels were set in motion. pulled chassis 917-030 off the shelf and set about doing everything necessary to legalise it, which it turns out wasn’t very much at all. Chassis 030 was painted silver, had a couple of aerodynamic fins removed and was fitted with additional exhaust silencers. he drove the car back home, can you imagine ? You need to have some 917 in a true Porsche Collection. It is maybe the most and spectacular race car ever. . The 2 models were only token out of the box for the pics and have never been exposed. - Porsche 917 K STRADALE ROAD - CONTE ROSSI - 1975 - Porsche 917 K 1000 km of Monza 1970 - Gesipa Racing Team
