Chassis:
Built for testing purposes, the first 917/30 was equipped with an adjustable chassis, which allowed for different wheelbases. It was completed late in 1972 and extensively tested before the two cars for Penske were produced. In 1973 it was raced three times in the European Interserie Championship with a victory at Hockhenheim in the hands of Vic Elford as the best result. It was then driven by Herbert Müller on his way to the 1974 and 1975 Interserie championship title. Porsche retained the car and restored it to the original Martini colours. Chassis 917/30-001 was subsequently shown at a variety of exhibitions and loaned for many years to the Sinsheim Museum. More recently, it was returned to full running order and finished in the Vaillant colours used by Herbert Müller when he drove the car to victory in the 1975 Hockenheim round of the Interserie championship.
