The predecessor of the 917 LH was the Porsche 917 K, known for its performance and design. However, the 917 LH soon took the spotlight, especially due to its aerodynamically optimized body and the 4.5-liter 12-cylinder boxer engine, which could reach up to 580 horsepower. These technical data made it a dominant vehicle in the racing world, not least due to its top speed of over 386 km/h (240 mph), making it one of the fastest vehicles of its time.
