A rare 1970s Porsche racecar just fetched $4 million at Bonhams’ sale in Monterey, setting a new world record for the most expensive Porsche ever sold at auction.

This stunning and historic open-top version of the legendary racer appeared and was immortalized in Steve McQueenĆ¢ā‚¬ā„¢s movie, Le Mans.

The 1970 Porsche 917 Interserie Spyder goes from 0-60 mph in 2.3 seconds and a top speed of over 240mph.

The stunning vehicle was part of a sale of rare cars which went under the hammer at Ć¢ā‚¬ĖœThe Quail; a Motorsports GatheringĆ¢ā‚¬ā„¢ in Monterey, California on Saturday.
