Mark Donohues 917/30

Baddest Race Car Ever?
The 917/30 was the most powerful sports car racer ever built and raced. The 5.4 litre 12 cylinder twin-turbocharged engine could produce 1500 bhp with twin turbochargers run up to full boost, a simply astonishing 39 p.s.i,
In 9th August 1975, Porsche and Penske would give the Can-Am car its final send off in style when they took their 917/30 to Talladega to break the FIA speed record on a closed circuit with Mark Donohue driving, the speed reached was 245 mph. As well as being the last official outing for the 917, it was the last major accomplishment for Donohue before his fatal accident in practice for the Austrian Grand Prix a week later. The record would stand for the next 22 years.

Published on Jun 12, 2017

It was the car so powerful and dominant that it forced officials to change the rules of the popular Can-Am Sportscar series in North America in the early 1970s. With over 1000 horsepower and capable of nearly 400km/h, the Porsche 917/30 is one of the fastest race cars ever built, as the Shannons Legends of Motorsport team discovered with this special up-close story.
