GULF Racing

Gulf is one of the few brands to be easily recognizable by its colours alone. If you're into cars, when you see blue and orange, you think Gulf. Porsche 917K Gulf gave the brand its first overall wins at the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 1970 and 1971. 

A flat-12 engine of 4.5, 4.9 and 5 litres powers up the legendary Porsche. 

This car is capable of acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h in just 2.3 seconds. Another 3 seconds are needed to reach 200 km/h, and the top speed is over 390 km/h. 


Pedro Rodriguez and Jo Siffert established new records everywhere they raced the Gulf Porsche 917, their exploits at Brands Hatch, Le Mans, Spa Francorchamps, the Nurburgring and Daytona are now legendary, but Steve McQueen's the king of cool film 'Le Mans' gave the Gulf Porsche 917 iconic status.
