The Build

1955 Porsche 550 Spyder

This 550 Spyder replica continuation was recently completed and sports a race engine and Bilstein dampers for a properly fun driving experience. This flyweight weighs in at around 1,400 pounds and has a mid-mounted 1.8L air-cooled four cylinder engine mounted midship, which we are confident provides plenty of forward motivation and thrills. A rear chassis stabilizer bar keeps it flatter in the corners while disc front brakes provide a more confident driving experience. We think this could serve as a great way to get back to a truly analog driving experience and we would love to enjoy it on some deserted backroads.
