Porsche 500 Spyder

 

The Porsche 500 Spyder is one of the most beautiful examples of streamlined car design. Beautifully conceived and executed, the Porsche 500 Spyder is a picture-perfect masterpiece.

Styled by Wilhelm Hild and guided by Ferry Porsche's philosophy of light weight, agile handling and a clean aerodynamic shape. Porsche's 550 Spyder quickly became something of a cult car and earned a fanatical following. Porsche ended up building only 90 cars between 1952 and 1956. Its limited availability is the key reason for its lofty price tag at auction houses; a 1955 Porsche 550 Spyder was recently auctioned for nearly $3.6 million.
