Porsche Le Mans return video

Porsche has teased its return to the Le Mans 24 hours with a video paying homage to the 917 racecar. Highlights include lots of scintillating period footage and a walkthrough of all the previous records Porsche demolished in 1971, including the world’s lightest chassis, fastest lap at Le Mans, fastest average speed throughout the race and furthest distance travelled during the entire 24 hours, figures which, of course, led to victory. It then declares ‘Mission 2014. Our return’.
