ABOUT THE 917 LE MANS WINNER:
The Porsche 917 is a sports prototype race car developed by German manufacturer Porsche. The 917 gave Porsche its first overall wins at the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 1970 and 1971. Powered by the Type 912 flat-12 engine of 4.5, 4.9, or 5 litres, the 917/30 Can-Am variant was capable of a 0-62 mph (100 km/h) time of 2.3 seconds, 0–124 mph (200 km/h) in 5.3 seconds, and a test track top speed of up to 240 mph (390 km/h).[2][better source needed]
In 1971 the car featured in the Steve McQueen film Le Mans. In 2017 the car driven by McQueen in the film was sold at auction for $14m, a record price for a Porsche.[3] For the 40th anniversary of the 917 in 2009 Porsche held a special celebration at the Goodwood Festival of Speed (3–5 July).[4]

We face mount an Epson glossy photo print (archival pigment print) to framing grade plexiglas. Because this face mounting technique builds upon an Epson archival pigment print, it retains all the advantages of archival pigment prints and possess a wider color gamut, incredible resolution and high archivability / print permanence. This is then backed with 3 mm aluminum composite (dibond) and a hanging subframe
