Description from the seller
Official Porsche 550 Spyder Technical Drawing, it includes the vehicle dimensions, engine, braking system, exhaust, lighting and headlamp certification marks, wheels; it is a must for enthusiasts or owners of this sports car.
The project will be printed on high-quality canvas paper and shipped in a tube.

The Porsche 550 Spyder (1953-1956) is one of the most iconic race cars in history, famous 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 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 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, guaranteeing perfect balance.
Dimensions: Extremely low (only 98 cm tall), so much so that driver Hans Herrmann drove it under the closed bars 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 fueled the legend of a "cursed" car, whose remains vanished mysteriously in 1960.
Record and Value
Wins: Over 95 total victories, including the legendary overall win at the 1956 Targa Florio and class successes at the 24 Hours of Le Mans and the Carrera Panamericana.
Rarity: Only 90 were produced, making it today a collectible worth over $5-6 million.
