The 1955 Porsche 550 Spyder is a legendary sports car with a great racing history. The Spyder race cars won at such famous tracks such as Le Mans, Monza, Reims and Nürburgring, including dominant 1-2-3-4 victories. These machines were awe inspiring to some performers in their day and today still represent great handling and speed. Attention to detail is one of the many highlights of this machine. From the properly located polished aluminum fuel filter and authentic low-back bucket seats, to the rear cooling gills on the deck.  

The KitMan 550 Spyder is available on our custom 3 in. tube chassis. The body comes in black primer and includes two doors, hood, deck lid, interior cab closeouts, and hinges for the doors, hood, and deck lid (included but not mounted) Available in LHD and RHD.
