The Porsche 917 is without doubt an icon. In the first place due to its' incredible performance and race results. But there are two colour schemes that add to the status: the blue and orange of the Gulf livery and the purple-green livery of the “hippie”.

The Porsche Design Studio had been thinking about how the 917 043 might be painted. On a model they studied the “hippie” layout which was used at the 1970 Le Mans.

The final paint job was applied on site in many steps (and with countless cans of spray paint) in the yard of Porsche’s garage in Telochè.
