You Cannot Fake Memory: Sculpting the Porsche 917K Interior

The interior of our 1/8 scale Porsche 917K, winner of the 1971 1000 km of Spa-Francorchamps, is not polished to look pristine. It is built to feel lived in. Every switch, every scratch, every seam is shaped by hand, not as decoration, but as evidence.

More Than Design

The seat is not simply aged. It carries the marks of hours spent under pressure, the wear left behind by a driver’s endurance. The dashboard is not clean. It is alive with residue, dust, and decisions made at over 300 kilometers per hour.

Our artisans approach the interior as restorers would approach a canvas. They do not invent flaws. They study race footage, photographs, and archives to understand what really happened inside the car. Then they rebuild those traces with microscopic precision.

Evidence of a Race

A race car interior is not a design exercise. It is evidence of the human struggle within. Scratches, stains, and dust are not imperfections. They are the proof of effort, courage, and history. To erase them would be to erase truth.

Rebuilding What Was Felt

At LEVEGH, we do not replicate legends. We rebuild what they felt like. Every detail, visible or invisible, is a window back into a moment of endurance and triumph. By sculpting memory into miniature, we keep history alive in a form that can be held, admired, and passed down.

This is not about making objects. It is about preserving experience.
