The AlloyCars Spyder:
Constructed with a curvaceous aluminum body wrapped around a tubular steel ladder chassis that has a 1.5-liter air-cooled mid engine, the 550 weighed 550 kilograms (1,213 pounds). With its 135hp engine in such a lightweight, superb handling machine, the 550 beat every other vehicle within its own class and could run with much higher-powered (but heavier) machines.

Spectators of the 1954 Mille Miglia witnessed driver Hans Hermann and navigator Herbert Linge race the low slung Porsche under a railroad gate milliseconds before an approaching train. At the 1954 Le Mans, a 550 won its class. Also known as a Spyder or RS, the 550-placed first overall at the ’56 Targa Florio contest in Palermo, Sicily, giving Porsche its first overall victory ever.
