AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Official technical drawing of the Porsche 550 Spyder.
The project will be printed on high-quality canvas paper and shipped in a tube
It will be shipped via international insured UPS courier service.
The Porsche 550 Spyder (1953-1956) is one of the most iconic race cars in history, famed for its extreme agility and for the nickname "Giant Killer", earned by defeating much more powerful rivals thanks to its lightness and refined engineering.
Main Features
Extreme lightness: Weighing only 550 kg (from which the name), the car used a tubular chassis 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 overhead camshafts, capable of delivering about 110-135 HP.
Revolutionary design: It was the first Porsche designed specifically for racing, with a mid-engine configuration that guaranteed perfect balance.
Dimensions: Extremely low (only 98 cm in height), so low that driver Hans Herrmann steered it under the lowered barriers of a level crossing during the Mille Miglia of 1954.
The Myth and James Dean
The car is inseparably linked to the figure of James Dean, who died at the wheel of his personal 550 Spyder, nicknamed "Little Bastard", in September 1955. The tragedy fueled the legend of a "cursed" car, whose remains disappeared mysteriously in 1960.
Achievements and Value
Wins: More than 95 total victories, including the legendary overall win at the 1956 Targa Florio and class wins at the 24 Hours of Le Mans and the Carrera Panamericana.
Rarity: Only 90 units were produced, making it today a collectible piece valued at over 5-6 million dollars
