Check out Steve McQueen’s Porsche from “Le Mans”

The 1970 Porsche 911 S is a veteran of the silver screen, having been featured in the opening sequence of McQueen’s epic tribute to automobiles and motorsports, “Le Mans.”  The 911 was used as the actor’s personal car during the filming of “Le Mans” while he was living in a rented 30-room 15th century chateau in France. The car is also mentioned in the book, “Steve McQueen: The Life and Legend of a Hollywood Icon,” in a passage where the star takes a visiting Hollywood executive on a 100 mph ride through the French countryside.
