This was the first 917-10 campaigned in 1971 by Siffert. After his fatal accident Roger Penske took over development and was the "works" team, however the early Penske cars and the customer cars were still non turbo. I think the new bodied turbo was introduced in May of '72 under L&M cigarette sponsorship
