“Arranque a Frio” changes its theme every day. Yesterday the theme was a Piaggio Ape 50 with an Alentejo man at the controls, and today the subject couldn't be more different. Let's talk about the Porsche 550 Spyder.
It came to be called “Giant Killer”, or in good Portuguese, “Tomba-Gigantes”, for superior to much more powerful machines.
We went from the calm Alentejo plains to the frenzy of competition with the Porsche 550 Spyder: one of the most striking and iconic models of the Stuttgart brand. Immortalized by legends such as James Dean and Lew Bracker, the Porsche 550 Spyder is one of the most appreciated models in Porsche history. And it was exactly 60 years ago, on January 28, 1958, that the last example of this model was manufactured.
We hope you have a great day! Tomorrow there is another “Cold Start” here at Razão Automóvel.
