The 917 Concept is a very modern looking car with special features to make sure it has a good driving performance. Some of these features are the two wings instead of the average spoiler. This creates a feeling of tension and flexibility. Minimal overhang also helps the car performance wise. The 917 Concept was a winner at Le Mans 24 Hour race, which shows its great performance.
Alot of the design is based on saving weight, so alot of carbon fibre is used in the cars design. Everywhere where it is possible to use carbon fibre the designers used carbon fibre. For example the wheels are five spoke carbon which cover other five made in magnesium.
There are all kinds of new modern gadgets such as the rear view mirror is now a camera. Overall this car is very modern looking and can be described as good looking. The designers of this car did a excellent job performance and appearance wise.
