The unique Porsche 917/20, alias the Pink Pig was driven at Le Mans in 1971 by Joest and Kauhsen. Depicted as it negotiates the Mulsanne Kink.

The Porsche 917/20 takes a special place among the various 917 versions. It remains a unique one-off. Porsche engineers, together with the Porsche designer Anatole Lapine, decided in favour of the pink body colour and labelled each of the body parts according to the butcher-style French company SERA undertook the attempt to combine the advantages of the short and long tail 917.

Its body was extremely wide and it had extremely rounded wheel cut-outs. But the best part was the fanciful paintwork which let the 917/20 go down in Porsche history as the “Pink Pig”, “Big Berta” or even “Truffle Hunter”. Porsche caused a sensation at Le Mans 1971 with the Pink Pig. It was the fastest car during the pre-race qualification session, although it was totally untested. But during the main race, the 917/20 running in fifth position dropped out shortly before the end due to an accident.
