In 1971, the Porsche 917K conquered the 1000 km of Spa-Francorchamps. It did not win in showroom condition. It won with scars. With dust. With imperfections that told the truth of endurance racing.

At LEVEGH, we believe those imperfections are not flaws. They are the essence of history.


The recreation of the 1971 Spa-Francorchamps Porsche 917K

More Than Replication

When we recreate the 917K at 1/8 scale, we do not polish away its story. We sculpt it back into existence. Every deformation of the body, every mark left by time and competition, is studied and rebuilt by hand. Our artisans examine race footage, period photography, and engineering archives, then translate those traces into texture, form, and finish.

This is not nostalgia. It is restoration.


History in Miniature

The result is a one-of-one creation, shaped in France over more than 1,000 hours. Each model carries not just the silhouette of the original but the lived truth of its racing past. When you look closely, you see the scars of victory. They are reminders of the reality that a car which wins does not come home clean.


One of One. Never Again.

Every LEVEGH piece is unique, never to be repeated. Each is a testimony to the belief that history is not smooth. It is weathered, raw, and alive. By shaping these details in miniature, we ensure that the legacy of cars like the 917K continues not as a memory, but as a tangible, lasting object.


Because authenticity is built not from perfection, but from the imperfections that tell the real story.
