Porsche could not get it road legal in Germany.
But it was road legal in teh states. The car was a former testbed for a anti brake locking System ABS. Its fate is unknown to me.

The white 917 was road legal in germany, you can see the original german license plates. It was buildt up from frame resepcting german laws for roadlegalisation.
It is not easy to get a racing car through the german TüV (Technical Observation Union), but somehow he managed it.
Bye the way I saw a report about a road legal Porsche 910.
Ah thanks alot for this information buddy! I cant tell you how amazingly interesting this cars history is! If anyone has more please tell us more!
