The detail is insane. The car itself had like 1000 hp, and the driver had a knob he would turn to increase boost and turn the power up to 1200 hp+. That's in a car that weighs less than a shoe lol. The flat 12 engine is crazy. It won in Can-Am, not sure what year, and nothing else could touch it. It's a monster and the model does it justice. Remember that holy grail thread you made? This was mine.
The year you are referring to is 1973. It certainly would've won even more but Can-Am's organizers imposed a fuel limit on turbocharged cars to effectively stop the Porsche 917/30.
Congratulations on your holiest of grails. Beautiful car, real life and the model!
I hope to add my own grail one day which is the Gulf liveried 917 McQueen drove in the movie LeMans. In the meantime, I'll just live vicariously through your enthusiasm.

Glad I pulled the trigger because 4 hours later, they're gone! Hope mine comes through!!
