The Porsche 917-001 will be on display in its original condition in the museum for the first time.

The 917 short-tail with the number 23 secured the first overall victory at the 24 Hours of Le Mans.

Lined up as they once were in 1969, when a total of 25 917s required for homologation were assembled in front of Plant 1 for the representatives of the motorsport authorities.

The first Porsche 917 was presented at the Geneva Motor Show on March 12, 1969.

The success of the Porsche 917 in motor racing is illustrated by various exhibits.

So-called "toolboxes" explain the technology of the 917 models to visitors, among other things.

The special exhibition "50 Years of the Porsche 917 - Colors of Speed" will be a colorful experience.

The book "50 Years of the Porsche 917" is being published today, May 14, and will be available in bookstores as well as in the museum store

The book costs 19.80 euros in the Porsche Museum store and 19.95 euros in bookshops
