About the Porsche 917K #22 H. Marko / G. van Lennep 24 Hours of Le Mans Winner 1971 Norev 1:18
TL;DR: Norev's 1:18 Porsche 917K #22 diecast reproduces the 1971 Le Mans-winning car driven by Marko and van Lennep, still holding the race's all-time distance record. The body is a sealed one-piece casting. This is a new model in original packaging, ideal for pairing with the 1970-winning 917K.
This 917K set a distance record at Le Mans that stood for decades, a fact that gives Norev's replica a very specific claim to fame beyond just being another winning livery.
How Norev Captures a Record-Setting Livery
The body carries no opening panels, and that fixed construction works in the model's favor here: the 917K's swooping fenders and rear deck read as one continuous surface, exactly as the sealed casting allows. Norev holds the Martini-adjacent striping and racing numbers in sharp registration across the curved bodywork, a detail that would be harder to keep consistent around door seams on an articulated shell. The clear coat carries real depth under a display lamp, letting the livery colors sit with the saturation collectors expect from a Le Mans winner. Shipped new, this example arrives with its original box and no handling history to disclose.
A Distance Record That Still Stands in Le Mans Lore
Driven by Helmut Marko and Gijs van Lennep, this 917K covered more ground in 24 hours than any car before or for years afterward, a record tied to a specific combination of car, drivers, and conditions rarely repeated. It represents the 917's second consecutive outright Le Mans win, cementing Porsche's dominance of endurance racing's biggest stage in the early 1970s.
Pairing Consecutive Le Mans Winners on One Shelf
Displayed beside the 1970-winning #23 car, this #22 917K completes a two-year winning streak that defined an era of sports car racing. Both share the same 1:18 scale and roughly 23cm footprint, so they sit naturally together, sealed bodywork and all, as the backbone of a Porsche endurance racing collection.
