Steve McQueen’s legendary Porsche 917K, the famed “Hero Car” from the 1971 film Le Mans, is set to headline Mecum Auctions’ 2025 event in Kissimmee, Florida. Following its stunning reveal at the 2024 Mecum Monterey auction, this iconic race car will go under the hammer in January at The World’s Largest Collector Car Auction®.
Known for its dual roles as a Hollywood star and world-class racing machine, McQueen’s Porsche 917K holds an illustrious position in both cinema and motorsports history. Recently restored to its 1970 specifications, the car’s legacy extends beyond the silver screen, having competed in world endurance racing and secured multiple victories.
The 917K is expected to draw significant attention when it hits the auction block, adding to Mecum’s already remarkable lineup of historic vehicles.
