If yes, funny they never went into production with a DOHC 911.

That's not a true 917 cutaway, a 917 had a gear based setup



the bottom pic you refer to, that looks like somebody trying to figure out how to make a 917 like engine with efi
Not a good setup if you ask me , them camshafts are very long to be driven from one end only.
