Hidden Perfection: The Porsche 917K Wheel Axle

At LEVEGH, we believe authenticity is found in the details that most people will never see. A masterpiece is not defined only by what meets the eye, but by the care invested in every hidden component.

One of the most striking examples of this philosophy is our recreation of the 1971 Porsche 917K, an icon of endurance racing. For this project, even the wheel axles have been hand-crafted by our artisans. You will not notice them at first glance, yet they exist with the same precision and dedication as the rest of the car.

Crafting the Unseen

Reproducing a weathered race car at 1/8 scale means more than shaping its silhouette. It requires a faithful reimagining of every mechanical element. Our artisans sculpt, polish, and paint each axle, each joint, and each surface by hand. The subtle marks of use, the patina of age, the textures of metal and paint are all captured to honor the car’s lived history.

This is not decoration. It is authenticity.

The One-Of Philosophy

The Porsche 917K we are building is a One-Of, meaning it exists as a singular creation. It has been crafted and weathered by hand, from bodywork to hidden mechanics, to reflect the uncompromising pursuit of truth that defines LEVEGH. Each scratch, each tone of paint, each finish tells the story of a machine that has lived, raced, and endured.

Coming Soon

The full reveal of this weathered 917K is approaching, and it will showcase what happens when passion for history meets a refusal to compromise.

Because at LEVEGH, even the details you never see are crafted with devotion.
