The Porsche 917K is a limited-run drop from the 75 Years of Porsche Motorsport update (Part 2, July 31, 2026) — and its window closes on August 14, 2026. $3,900,000 while it lasts.
This is the Le Mans legend — Porsche's first overall Le Mans winner (1970, Herrmann/Attwood) made world-famous by the Gulf livery and the 1971 Steve McQueen film. In Driving Empire it existed for years as a parody car (Prancep 919LM / Prancep LM12, once the game's most expensive car at $14M) before this licensed relist.
Verdict: buy it for the garage, not the grid. Stock it oversteers heavily — the wiki's own performance notes call AWD swap and handling upgrades mandatory — and at $3.9M faster street cars exist. As a collector's piece with a hard deadline, that math changes: after Aug 14 it is gone.
