This is the Porsche 917K 4.9L #22 Winner 1971 24h Le Mans in 1:18 scale by Werk 83.

In the 1971 24 Hours of Le Mans, the Porsche 917K 4.9L #22, driven by Helmut Marko and Gijs van Lennep, achieved a historic victory. This race was particularly notable for setting a distance record that stood for almost 40 years, with the winning car covering 5,335 kilometers. The Porsche 917K, renowned for its exceptional speed and engineering, dominated the competition with its flat-12 engine and aerodynamic design optimized for the long straights of the Le Mans circuit. The 1971 race was also marked by the debut of the iconic Le Mans film, starring Steve McQueen, which further cemented the legendary status of the Porsche 917K and its remarkable performance in one of the most grueling endurance races in motorsport history.
