Porsche 917 LH #3 Practice 1970 24h Le Mans Larrousse/Kauhsen in 1:12 scale
This is the Porsche 917 LH #3 Practice 1970 24h Le Mans Larrousse/Kauhsen in 1:12 scale by CMR.
During practice for the 1970 24 Hours of Le Mans, the No.3 Porsche 917 LH was driven by Gérard Larrousse and Willi Kauhsen, both highly respected endurance specialists known for their speed and consistency in long-distance racing. The “LH” designation stood for Langheck (“long tail”), and what truly set this 917 apart was its extreme long-tail aerodynamic bodywork, designed specifically to maximize top speed on Le Mans’ long Mulsanne Straight. Powered by a thunderous flat-12 engine producing over 580 horsepower, the 917 LH was capable of extraordinary speeds approaching 240 mph, making it one of the fastest race cars of its era. Its sleek, low-drag shape and raw power gave it a dramatic advantage in straight-line performance, helping cement the Porsche 917’s legendary status in endurance racing history.
This model is hand painted and polished to a beautiful finish and has a sealed body. These diecast
models are exceptionally accurate of scale, shape and detail. Interior detail is hand assembled and easily
visible. Photo etched parts, die-cutting, tampo printing and waterslide decals are often used for a most
authentic replication.
