Very fun day test driving a friend’s new-to-him custom built 550 Spyder replica. One of the only cars in town that makes my Elise feel portly! It was so fun but VERY tight inside and I struggled to work the clutch. But such a beautiful car, and great sounds from the carbureted Porsche 4-cylinder. If you look closely you’ll see he has quite a few fun p-cars in his garage. The turbo’s the most fun to drive, and demands your full attention when boost comes on. The 356 is similar in feel to the 550 - perfect Sunday parade or cruise-around-town cars. I’m happy with my Lotus, but had been missing the feel of an old Porsche under foot. #porsche #lotus #550spyder

One of the remarkable characteristics of The 550 Spyder was its role in democratizing motorsport. Before the 550, many racing cars were unattainable for privateer drivers due to their high cost and complexity. The 550 Spyder quickly made a name for itself in motorsports, racking up victories in prestigious races such as the Carrera Panamericana and the Targa Florio. Its success wasn't limited to European circuits; the 550 also found triumph on the other side of the Atlantic, winning its class at the 1954 24 Hours of Le Mans—a remarkable achievement for a relatively small-displacement car. One of the key factors behind the 550 Spyder's racing prowess was its reliability. Porsche's meticulous engineering and attention to detail ensured that the car could endure the rigors of endurance racing without compromising performance. This reliability, coupled with its nimble handling and potent powertrain, made it a formidable competitor against larger, more powerful rivals. Even after production of the 550 Spyder ceased in 1956, its legacy lived on, influencing subsequent generations of Porsche sports cars. The lessons learned from the 550's racing exploits would shape the development of future models, ensuring that its spirit of performance and innovation continued to drive forward for years to come. #tuksedostudio #tuksedostudiobali #ekonomikreatif #bali #classiccars #coachbuilt #coachbuilder #356 #356coupe #356speedster #550 #550spyder #300sl #300slr #300slgullwing

One notable aspect of the Porsche 550 Spyder is its role in shaping Porsche's legacy as a manufacturer of high-performance sports cars. The 550 Spyder was a pivotal model in Porsche's early years, helping to establish the brand's reputation for building finely engineered, race-winning machines. The 550 Spyder's success on the track was instrumental in elevating Porsche's stature in motorsport circles. It achieved numerous victories in endurance races, hill climbs, and circuit events, showcasing Porsche's engineering prowess and performance capabilities to the world. One of the most iconic victories for the 550 Spyder came in 1956 at the Targa Florio, one of the toughest and most prestigious endurance races of its time. The 550 Spyder, piloted by Umberto Maglioli, dominated the competition, securing an impressive overall victory and cementing Porsche's status as a force to be reckoned with in motorsport. The success of the 550 Spyder paved the way for future Porsche models, establishing a legacy of excellence in racing that continues to this day. The lessons learned from the 550 Spyder's development and competition experience would influence the design and engineering of subsequent Porsche sports cars, shaping the brand's identity and guiding its path to success on and off the racetrack. #tuksedostudio #tuksedostudiobali #ekonomikreatif #bali #classiccars #coachbuilt #coachbuilder #356 #356coupe #356speedster #550 #550spyder #300sl #300slr #300slgullwing

DETAILS In the whispers of time, it is always the details that sing the loudest. Every stitch and every curve of the 550 Spyder speaks of a philosophy where precision meets passion. This isn’t just a car; it’s a testament to the craftsmanship that transcends the ordinary. It reminds us that the essence of greatness lies not in the entirety but in the meticulousness of its parts.

BLACK FOREST Speeding down the serpentine roads of the Black Forest in my Porsche 550 Spyder, I marvel at how each turn brings a new perspective, much like life’s unexpected twists. The scenery here is a constant reminder of the privileges at my doorstep, inviting me to dive into its curves without a plan. Isn’t spontaneity the truest luxury? Here’s to making the most of the nearby wonders and the thrill of the drive. After all, why just go through life when you can dance along its edges?

HEARTBREAKER Imagine a car that could steal your heart at first glance and then break it on the next curve—such is the 550 Spyder’s allure. The Porsche 550 Spyder, a flirtatious speedster from 1955, epitomizes automotive romanticism with a touch of daredevil charm. This little rebel was Porsche’s first foray into racing cars and didn’t just race; it practically danced on the track, all while turning heads with its dashing good looks. Its sleek design and snappy performance made it the James Dean of automobiles, embodying a spirit of youthful exuberance mixed with a hint of danger (and we all know how that relationship ended). 💔 #heartbreakclub #heartbreaker Picture by @550.spyder ——- #550spyder #porsche550 #porsche550spyder #porsche #racecar #spyder #550 #stuttgart #spring #porschestuttgart #porschespyder

Sagenhafte 110PS bei und ein maximales Drehmoment von 121NM bei 5000/min. Wenn es der Fahrer darauf anlegt, beinahe 230 km/h schnell. 550kg schwer. Das ganze wird durch Trommelbremsen, vorne sowie hinten, dann hoffentlich runter gebremst. Das ist der Porsche 550 Spyder Stellt dir vor du kannst mit deinem jetzigen Straßenauto einfach jederzeit an einer Lizensierten Sportwagenmeisterschaft teilnehmen , komplett verrückt oder?!. Mit dem Porsche 550 ging das jederzeit, man musste nur die Glaswindschutzscheibe durch eine Plexiglasscheibe austauschen und schon war man starklar. Ca. 100 Porsche 550 wurden hergestellt und für 24.600 DM (ca. 73.500 Euro heute) an Privatkunden verkauft. Die meisten Wagen gingen in die USA. Die Marke Porsche war zu der Zeit in der USA jung, die Autos waren beinahe schmerzhaft authentisch und kompromisslos sportlich. Dies hat einer der wohl berühmtesten Käufer von Porsche schnell für sich gefunden. Schauspieler James Dean. Leider brachte ihm genau dieses Fahrzeug, den Tod. James Dean war unterwegs zur Rennstrecke von Salinas, Von Hollywood nach Salinas sind es genau 320 Meilen gewesen, diese werden benötigt um den Porsche 550 Spyder richtig einzufahren um ihn auf ein Racing-Wochenende vorzubereiten. Kurz vor 18 Uhr erreicht der 550 Spyder mit der auflackierten Startnummer 130 und dem Kosenamen „Little Bastard“ die für ihn Tödlich Endende Abzweigung zum Highway 41 nach Fresno. Dann kommt der Crash. James Dean stirbt auf dem Weg ins Krankenhaus. Da von 1953 bis 1957 insgesamt nur 118 Rennsportwagen hergestellt wurden, werden diese sehr selten zum Verkauf angeboten und sind dementsprechend teuer. 2012 erzielte ein 550 in der USA einen Preis von 2,79 Millionen Euro. Die nachfrage ist aber so groß da sich ein Markt entwickelt hat, in dem detailgenaue Nachbauten, sogenannte Replicas, relativ kostengünstig verkauft werden.

STUTTGART Born in Stuttgart and revered worldwide, Porsche is more than just a car manufacturer—it’s a symbol of innovation and racing history. The roots in Stuttgart run deep, having started the journey here in the heart of Baden-Württemberg in 1931. Stuttgart’s dynamic culture and advanced industrial landscape have inspired Porsche to create vehicles that lead in quality and performance. Every car that leaves the factory carries the spirit of this city. Stuttgart is not just our home, but also the stage for many of the groundbreaking developments. Porsche and Stuttgart—a connection shaped by tradition and a vision for the future, continually pushing the boundaries of what’s possible. ——- #550spyder #porsche550 #porsche550spyder #porsche #racecar #spyder #550 #stuttgart #stuggi #porschestuttgart #porschespyder

Even though the Porsche 550 spyder was a beautifully designed car, it wasn’t until they started racing them that drivers experienced design issues that needed to be rectified immediately. The most common problem was cooling, whether it was the front brakes overheating, especially around the tight US airfield tracks, or cooling of the type 547 engine. Many early spyders had their noses modified to push cool air to the front drum brakes. A simple fix was just to remove the front indicator lights, but many cut some quite crude air intake holes in the nose. Porsche was aware of this issue and the second production run which included the LeMans Werks spyders, were redesigned to include 2 oval air intakes into the nose which were vented through holes made into the front inner wheel wells. To cool the quad cam engine, there were many experimental designs which included two air scoops above the engine in the rear clam shell, or a number of gills cut into each side of the rear clam or the addition of holes or grills in the tail section, usually either side of the license plate light or directly below. Porsche waited until the next spyder model, the 550A before they address the engine cooling problem, by designing gilled carb inspection doors on each side of the engine plus moving the two rear grills further down the tail section. Both grills were hinged to allow access to the gearbox as the rear required a number of screws to be removed before the whole clam section could be taken off, unlike the earlier 550 which was hinged at the rear. #porsche #porsche550 #Porsche550spyder #type550 #porschespyder #550spyder #porscheracing #porsche911 #becauseracecar #porscheaircooled #aircooled #classiccars #classicporsche #porscheconsulting #porschecollector #thereisnosubsitute #911 #912 #356 #gt3 #gt3rs

@550.spyder Timeless Elegance In the quiet of dawn, where the world meets the first light, stands a masterpiece not just of engineering but of dreams woven into metal. It’s not merely a vehicle but a vessel, carrying stories of yesteryears, adventures untold, and the timeless pursuit of beauty and speed. This icon, set against the backdrop of a landscape shrouded in morning mist, reminds us that some creations transcend their utility. They become a canvas for our aspirations, a mirror reflecting our collective longing for freedom, for the thrill of the journey, and the craftsmanship of eras past. In the silhouette of the 550 Spyder, we find not just a car, but a testament to the human spirit’s relentless drive to create, to feel, and to dream. #SolitudeDrive Picture by @550.spyder Music by @nilshoffmannmusic ————- #spyder #550spyder #porsche550 #porschespyder #spyder550 #porsche #racecar

Perks Drive Through Espresso is out of business. A Lafayette institution and location of my favorite local cars and coffee. The parking lot will become the new city hall one day. Great memories of car guys, community, friends, amazing cars and excellent coffee and donuts. #carsandcoffee #lafayetteca #spyder #porschespyder #550spyder #classiccars #sundaymornings #perksespresso

Nada! Zippo! Nothing beats backroads in a classic race car! Who needs highways when backroads offer the real thrill? Here, away from the straight-line boredom, a classic race car shows its true colors. On twisty roads, every shift, every turn is a shout against the smooth, digital driving vibes of modern sports cars. In an old beast that feels every inch of the road, driving is raw and unfiltered. It’s not about the speed from A to B, it’s about how much pulse-pounding excitement you can squeeze into every curve. A real adventure that modern sports cars, with all their tech, just can’t match.

GO!GO! ラリー in 熊本へ Porsche 550RS のサポートとして参加してきました! 熊本では、美味しい馬刺し、ラーメン、モツ鍋を頂きお腹は大満足。 そして、100台以上の素敵な参加車両を見れたのは圧巻でした。 常に観客が、どこにでもいて大賑わい。 発起人の俳優 唐沢さんの影響力は絶大でした。 無事に完走もでき、次のラフェスタプリマベーラも楽しみです。 #gogoラリーin熊本 #熊本 #ポルシェ #911 #356 #550spyder #porsche #ラリー #マセラティ #フェラーリ

@550.spyder Take 550 This weekend, Germany’s turning up the heat, and it’s not just the weather forecast promising warm vibes! While the sky might not be its usual shade of blue (because of Sahara dust), the temperature’s hinting at an adventure that can’t be missed. So, I’m rolling out with my Porsche 550 Spyder, ready to embrace the warmth on the open road. Who says you need clear skies when you’ve got a clear path to fun? Let’s make this weekend a hot ride to remember, no matter the shade above! #take5 by The Dave Brubeck Quartet ——- #550spyder #porsche550 #porsche550spyder #porsche #racecar #spyder #550 #porschespyder #type550
