The Porsche 917 is a halo car, a racecar that has been immortalized by movies, race victories and the sheer legend and lore that surrounds it. Every aspect of the car is scrutinized and worshipped, including its lightweight keys. Porsche, in an all out effort to reduce weight, drilled holes through the 917’s keys, creating a design that has stood the test of time. While Porsche has never made them for public use, that hasn’t stopped enterprising Porschephiles from creating their own designs. Keylow Manufacturing is one of these outfits, creating these keys in a variety of finishes at a very affordable price point. Having purchased one, I decided to have a little fun with it, creating a photo set that pushes the boundaries of what a regular car key symbolizes. Enjoy!
