AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Official Porsche 550 Spyder technical drawing; it includes the vehicle dimensions, engine, braking system, exhaust, the homologation marks for lights and headlights, and the wheels. A must-have for enthusiasts or owners of this sports car.
It will be shipped with insured UPS international courier.

The
Porsche 550 Spyder (1953-1956) is one of the most iconic racing cars in history, famous for its extreme agility and for the nickname 'Giant Killer', earned by defeating opponents much more powerful thanks to its lightness and refined engineering.
Main Features

Extreme lightness: With a weight of only 550 kg (hence the name), the car used a tubular frame and an aluminum body.
Fuhrmann engine: The heart of the car was the legendary Type 547 engine, a 1.5L four-cylinder boxer with four camshafts in the head, capable of delivering around 110–135 HP.
Revolutionary design: It was the first Porsche designed specifically for racing, with a mid-engine configuration, which guaranteed perfect balance.
Dimensions: Extremely low (only 98 cm tall), so low that the driver Hans Herrmann drove it under the closed gates of a level crossing during the 1954 Mille Miglia.

The Myth and James Dean
The car is inextricably linked to the figure of James Dean, who died aboard his personal 550 Spyder, nicknamed "Little Bastard", in September 1955. The tragedy fed the legend of a "cursed" car, whose remains mysteriously disappeared in 1960.
Achievements and Value

Wins: Over 95 overall triumphs, including the legendary outright victory at the 1956 Targa Florio and class successes at the 24 Hours of Le Mans and the Carrera Panamericana.
Rarity: Only 90 units were produced, making it today a collectible item valued at more than 5–6 million dollars.
