Porsche 550 Spyder - 1953/1959

Registry info 550 Spyder

The Porsche 550 and 550A was produced from 1953 to 1958 and they quickly established dominance in the 1.1- and 1.5- liter classes. The mid-engine racing design was further developed with Porsche's 718 model. 

The Porsche 550 has a solid racing history; the first race it entered, the Nurburgring Eifel Race in May 1953, it won. The 550 Spyder would usually finish top 3 in its class. Each Spyder was designed and customized to be raced.

We have posted some of the races. When in a year there were two races on the same circuit we posted the best result. 

In the registry we try, with your help, to post as many current and historic images so people can enjoy the car all over the world.
