Gulf Powder Blue & Orange · Le Mans Prototype

Steve McQueen's passion project on wheels. Wearing Gulf Oil's powder blue and orange livery, the 917K was the fastest racing car of its era, producing over 600bhp. McQueen wanted to make the definitive racing film and essentially staged a real 24-hour race at Le Mans just to capture it on camera.
