The news flutters in atmospheres informs to you well and also some European magazine risks in one similar visionaria (but moving) speculation.
In order to mean the argument, it is necessary to think for a moment next to Ford GT: one supercar modern produced in limited series, with entire new but somigliante mechanics, in all and for all, to its illustrious progenitrice of years Sixty.
Porsche would be working to an analogous plan having like protagonist nientemeno that glorious the 917, the more fascinating and most monstrous of the Porsche from race (the 917 K released from 0 to 320 km/h in 13 ", the 917/30 Can-Am had one the maximum power of 1.100 Cv). Who does not remember it guided from the mourning Steve McQueen in the film on the 24 Hours of the Mans.
The occasion could be the quarantennale of the glorious one supercar, introduced to Geneva 13 March of 1969.
The auto body, therefore, would have to resume nearly integrally, the sinuoso and aggressive design of the model that stravinse in the World-wide Championship Marches in Years Seventy.
The motor could be the 10 cylinders of Carrera GT.
Production and price, obviously, only for little elect ones.

I don't see this as saying they will build a new 917, only they will be building a car somehow "analogous". I think this is another refernece to the rumored upcoming GT1 which will be based on the CGT. There were sketches leaked from Weissach in the new Auto Week.

I'm sure for the right price the special wishes department would build a new 917 from scratch it somebody wanted it, but it would cost more than buying an original 917.
