SOLIDO (18) Porsche 917/10 TC "L&M" Can-Am 1972 white-silver

Porsche in 1972 relied on the team of Roger Penske to run its 917/10 in the American Can-Am series. It was a more advanced car than those sold to private pilots and featured a trellis frame made of magnesium tubes that weighed only 45 kg and, considering the power, the calipers and brake discs were modified. The line of the body was characterized by a "spoon" nose and two pronounced fins on the tail connected by a large spoiler. The car weighed 750 kg and was equipped with a turbocharged 12-cylinder engine with a displacement of 5,000 cm³ which developed 1,000 hp. The 917/10 driven by George Follmar dominated the Can-Am series in 1972, breaking the hegemony of McLaren cars that had lasted five seasons, winning six of nine races on the calendar.
The Solido model represents the car No. 7, sponsored by L & M, which was led to victory by George Follmer in the championship Can-Am 1972. There are two variants of the Solido model:
The 1st version (pictured) has yellow fans of the turbines and chrome tubular frame. The box is type 7 (yellow and red with celluloid on 2 sides, black and white drawings and reference on the tabs).
The 2nd version has white fans of the turbines and white or yellow tubular frame. The box is type 7 (yellow and red with celluloid on 2 sides, black and white drawings and reference on the tabs).
