AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Official Porsche 550 Spyder technical drawing, it includes the vehicle dimensions, engine, braking system, exhaust, the light and headlight homologation marks, the wheels; indispensable for enthusiasts or owners of this sports car.
The project will be printed on high-quality canvas paper and shipped in a tube.
It will be shipped with insured international UPS courier.
The Porsche 550 Spyder (1953-1956) is one of the most iconic race cars in history, famous for its extreme agility and the nickname "Giant Killer," earned by beating much more powerful rivals thanks to its lightness and refined engineering.
Key Features
Extreme lightness: Weighing only 550 kg (from which the name is derived), 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 that ensured perfect balance.
Dimensions: Extremely low (only 98 cm in height), so much so that driver Hans Herrmann drove it under the closed barriers of a level crossing during the Mille Miglia in 1954.
The Myth and James Dean
The car is inextricably linked to 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 mysteriously disappeared in 1960.
Record and Value
Victories: Over 95 overall wins, including the legendary overall 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 worth over $5-6 million.
