    Steve McQueen was one of those guys that would've looked cool no matter what car he had, even if it was a Yugo.

    @OldeEnglishD: If you believe in that whole "divine spark in man" thing, then God used to make cars all the time. Then, we started building cars by committee and God smited us for our wickedness.

    While you think of all the noise and automotive sex and knock-off hub caps and crackling on the over-run and eating Ferraris for breakfast, remember also that Mike Hawthorn wore a bow-tie.

    This little piggy went to racing, this little piggy wrapped around the go-pedal on a 917, and the rest of the little piggies hung on in fear and atavistic prehensile style like an orangutan's foot on a branch.

    What a beast!

    Despite the aero problem, I read that Piech had plans for a flat-16. I think they built two motors (I hope they still exist?), but the advent of turbocharging and the 1972 Le Mans rules kiboshed those plans.

    @brandegee: Yeah, Piëch was planning to do like his grandfather Ferdinand Porsche did with the Auto Union Typ C and its V16 engine for CanAm, but then they realized the flat-12 with turbos would be more than enough. And he had to wait three decades to finally get his sixteen cylinder engine in the Veyron!


    But then who else can claim to have had a hand in building such a rocketship of an engine? Giorgio Moroder and Claudio Zampolli and that would be it.

    Looked through my pics and found some of a '72 Can-Am 917/10. Look, and be awed!
