Porsche Spyders 1956-1964
Full of rare and sensational photographs, this book traces the development and competition history of the great Porsche Spyders from 1956 through 1964 - Type 550A, 645, RSK and 718.
The great success that Porsche enjoyed with its first 550 Spyders spurred its small but effective racing cadre to a more ambitious design with its 1956 Type 550A. It's stiffer space frame was inside the 550A that Umberto Maglioli drove single-handed to win the 1956 Targa Florio -- Porsches greatest victory to date.
