Though overshadowed by the tragic events of the day, the 1955 24 Hours of Le Mans was nonetheless an important step in Porsche's evolution from a consistent undercard winner to heavyweight champion of the sports car racing world. Blending superb handling, surprising straight-line speed and bulletproof reliability, the company's lithe 550 RS Spyder would dominate the race's 1500-cc category and claim fourth through sixth place overall...a towering achievement for the upstart carmaker.

New from Spark Models is a beautifully executed 1:43-scale resin replica of the fourth-place finishing factory-entered Porsche 550 RS Spyder, as driven Helmut Polensky and Richard von Frankenberg. Replete with fine touches such as an authentically crafted steering wheel and delicate rear grilles that reveal a ghostly spare tire underneath, this model exudes a sense of speed even while standing still.
