Recreation/Replica

Engine and Powertrain
At the heart of the vehicle is an original Porsche Fuhrmann four-cam engine, type 692/2.
Technical Specifications

• Engine Type: Porsche Fuhrmann 692/2
• Displacement: 1,598 cm³
• Power: approx. 130 PS
• Transmission: original Porsche 519
• Mileage since completion: approx. 1,100 km
• Electrical system: 12 volts
• Lubrication: dry-sump system
• Oil cooling via front oil cooler
• Authentic, adjustable cooling air flap in the front of the vehicle

The carburetor system is currently being converted from Solex to Weber. The Solex carburetors previously installed will, of course, remain on the vehicle and are included in the scope of delivery.
The Weber carburetors offer reliable tuning and very direct power delivery, while the existing Solex components allow for a rollback to the original setup at any time.

Chassis, Brakes, and Steering
In the areas of suspension and driving dynamics as well, consistent attention was paid to ensuring a historically accurate design.

• Chassis to original Porsche 550 specifications
• Brake system in original Porsche 550 configuration
• Authentic steering
• Aluminum/steel wheels in a historically accurate design
• Lightweight construction concept in keeping with the original character of the vehicle

Thanks to the vehicle’s low weight, the high-revving Fuhrmann engine, and the direct steering, the Spyder offers a very direct, unadulterated driving experience.

Body and Exterior
The entirely handcrafted aluminum body is modeled after the specifications of the 1956 Porsche 550 A in terms of shape, dimensions, and details.
Numerous components were crafted with great care and a keen eye for historical accuracy. The proportions, the low seating position, and the streamlined body convey precisely the sense of lightness that characterized the original 550 Spyder.

Interior and Features
The interior, too, consistently follows the purist racing philosophy of the 1950s.

• Aluminum bucket seats built to historical specifications
• Authentic seat mountings
• Original Porsche-VDO instruments
• Original wood steering wheel
• Tonneau cover included
• Minimalist, driver-oriented cockpit
• Historically accurate controls and finish

The interior deliberately forgoes unnecessary comfort and focuses entirely on the driving experience.

History and Documentation
The vehicle comes with extensive documentation detailing its construction and the work performed.
Included are, among other things:

• Documentation of the vehicle’s construction
• Invoices and receipts
• Appraisal reports
• German registration documents
• H license plate
• Documentation of the installed technology

The base vehicle was registered in 1956, which aligns with the selected historical specifications.

Use and Testing
Since its final completion in 2022, the vehicle has been driven approximately 1,100 km and extensively tested on the road.
Among other routes, the Spyder was driven over the Gotthard Pass to the Concorso d’Eleganza Villa d’Este, where it impressively demonstrated that it was not merely designed as a display piece, but as a fully-fledged and dynamic automobile.

Conclusion
This Porsche 550 A Spyder Recreation combines a handcrafted aluminum body, original Porsche powertrain technology, and numerous historically accurate components into an exceptionally harmonious vehicle.
The original Fuhrmann engine, the Porsche 519 transmission, the historic suspension and brake configuration, and the German registration with an “H” license plate make this vehicle a rare opportunity for collectors and enthusiasts.
This is expressly not an original Porsche 550 A, but rather a recreation of exceptionally high technical and craftsmanship quality, built to 1956 specifications.

This vehicle was not built to imitate history—but to bring it to life in an authentic way.
