About the Porsche 917 LH #3 Hippie 2nd Place 24 Hours of Le Mans 1970 AUTOart 1:18

TL;DR: AUTOart's 1:18 diecast Porsche 917 LH #3 reproduces the psychedelic "Hippie" livery that carried the long-tail 917 to second overall at the 1970 24 Hours of Le Mans. The stretched aerodynamic body, period paint scheme, and diecast construction make it a striking endurance-racing centerpiece.

Few endurance-racing liveries turn heads the way this one still does. Porsche's 917 LH earned its name from a long-tail body built purely to cut through the Le Mans straights, and AUTOart's 1:18 diecast keeps that stretched, low silhouette intact from nose to tail.

AUTOart's Diecast Build for a Low, Long Shape

The long-tail 917 is a demanding subject for any diecast tool: a low, wide body with almost no vertical surface to hide a seam. AUTOart, a manufacturer respected among collectors for tight panel fit and accurate motorsport liveries, tackles that shape with a metal body that carries real heft off the shelf, a useful cue that this is diecast rather than a lighter resin casting. The psychedelic paintwork wraps curved surfaces without visible break points, and the roundels and number three sit crisp under direct light. The cockpit area rewards a close look through the canopy, while the rear deck reproduces the ducting that gave the long-tail its top-speed edge over the shorter 917K. It is built to be picked up and turned over, not just viewed from one angle.

The Hippie Livery and Porsche's Le Mans Long-Tail

Porsche built two distinct 917 body styles for 1970: the short-tail 917K for tighter circuits, and the long-tail LH for Le Mans' high-speed Mulsanne straight. Car number 3, wearing a swirling, multi-colored scheme that earned it the "Hippie" nickname, finished second overall at the 1970 24 Hours of Le Mans, a result that cemented the 917's status as one of the defining prototypes of its era. The livery traded Porsche's usual white-and-red for a loud, era-appropriate pattern that still stands apart from any lineup of period Le Mans machinery.

On a shelf built around early 1970s sports prototypes, this 917 LH works as a color anchor next to more conventionally liveried Porsches and Ferraris from the same grid, and its long-tail body offers a clear visual contrast to any short-tail 917K standing beside it.
