Porsche 917 #2 Gulf Livery T-Shirt | 1971 Le Mans John Wyer Flat-12 Light Blue Orange Motorsport Legend Tee | Gift for Porsche Fans & Motorsport Enthusiasts

The #2 Porsche 917 in Gulf livery is arguably the most iconic race car-and-livery combination in all of motorsport history. The 917 itself rewrote racing history when it became Porsche's first overall Le Mans-winning car in 1970, finally toppling Ferrari at the 24 Hours of Le Mans after years of trying — and the legendary Gulf-sponsored John Wyer Automotive Engineering team campaigned the 917 throughout the 1970-1971 World Sportscar Championship in that absolutely unmistakable color scheme. The Gulf livery — pale powder blue paint with bright marigold orange stripes running over the body — has become the most recognizable racing color scheme ever applied to any race car, anywhere, ever.

Underneath the Gulf-painted bodywork: the air-cooled flat-12 engine derived from Porsche's Formula 1 program, capable of pushing the 917 to nearly 250 mph at Le Mans's legendary Mulsanne Straight, producing well over 600 horsepower from 4.9 liters in 917K specification. Then comes the cinema connection. Steve McQueen drove a Gulf-liveried 917K in the 1971 film Le Mans — putting the powder blue and orange combination on movie screens forever and ensuring the Gulf 917 would be loved by generations who never even saw it race in person. Car number 2 was specifically driven by Jo Siffert and Derek Bell during the 1971 World Championship season, finishing on multiple podiums in JWAE Gulf colors. Today, surviving Gulf 917s are some of the most valuable race cars on earth, regularly headlining Goodwood Festival of Speed, Rennsport Reunion, and every major historic motorsport event worldwide. Wear the most legendary race car-and-livery combination ever assembled.

Perfect for Porsche racing collectors, 917 history nerds, flat-12 evangelists, Gulf Racing livery diehards, Le Mans 24 Hours obsessives, Steve McQueen Le Mans film fans, Jo Siffert and Derek Bell history buffs, John Wyer Automotive Engineering history nerds, Goodwood Festival of Speed and Rennsport Reunion regulars, vintage motorsport historians, Group 5 Sportscar lifers, and anyone who knows the 917 in Gulf livery is one of the most beautiful and historically significant race cars ever built. A perfect gift for the friend whose dream wall has had a Gulf 917 poster on it since they were a kid — and isn't taking it down anytime soon.
