Probably my favorite Porsche of all time.

Not mine, but, yes, up there.

1:  RS60/RSK.  Bar of soap on wheels.  Nicest shapes they've ever drawn, by my eyes.

2:  908 K:  Snarkiest little Porsche-with-a-roof ever.  A cute, dangerous little venomous snake of a vehicle.

3:  917 K:  McQueen's 'Le Mans'.  Tiny, with monstrous air-cooled flat twelves.  Utter excess at ridonculous velocities.  Very pretty cars.

4:  Those 550s that had roofs.  They're ugly, but , no, they're not. Profil24 do them in 1/24th.  If I can pull this thing off, one of those is next.

5:  The 550 as customer sports car.  An engine and a drivetrain with a logical, minimalist afterthought of a zoomy carrosserie cobbled around it.  As pure as a cedar racing canoe, circa 1950s.

Offered as personal taste, not argument.

Unfortunately Porsche demands Very High Royalties for their design and intellectual properties, I know of several low volume Resin Casters who received Cease and Desist letters from Porsche's fine legal Team. I mean after all some one selling a resin 1/24 scale 550 Spyder might effect their Top End and Gross Annual Profits and could conceivably lead to Bankruptcy !!! Yeah Right. Chris

Well, they've not sued me yet and I've been driving it 20 years!
