WIST U DAT? Deel 14: The Pink Pig! Porsche met varkensvlees op Le Mans

Door Bas Kaligis14 juni 2015 · 00:08 uur1 min lezen

De 24-uursrace van Le Mans heeft een mythische status. Porsche heeft daar aan bijgedragen met vele overwinningen. Met de 83e editie van ‘Les 24 Heures’ voor de boeg is het tijd voor een korte en krachtige geschiedenisles: Deel 14 van bijzondere feiten over de zwaarste en meest meedogenloze race ter wereld.

Ook in 1971: een roze racewagen. De 917/20, ook wel bekend als ‘the Pink Pig'. Porsche-ontwerpers Anatole Lapine en Dick Söderberg brachten grafisch de beste stukken varkensvlees op de auto aan. Het idee ontstond toen Lapine de auto uitgeladen zag worden.
