60 Years of Super Sports Cars at Porsche Museum

With timeless classics such as the 356 and the 911, Porsche has been cultivating a unique reputation in the automotive world since 1948. Yet during the past six decades, Porsche has also managed to consistently develop highly exclusive super sport scars, many of which will be on show at the Porsche Museum in Stuttgart, Germany until March 17, 2014, as part of a new special exhibition entitled “60 years of Super Sports Cars”.

Certain models that have never been presented to the public before are among the vehicles on show. For example, it will be possible to admire the first ever 550 Spyder to be bought by a private customer, a vehicle which was assigned to racing driver Kurt Ahrens in January 1955. Nowadays, the drive housed within the 550 Spyder is as legendary as the vehicle itself, and has come to be known as the “Fuhrmann engine”. The four-cylinder flat engine with four overheard camshafts is considered to be one of the most successful Porsche engines of all time, and is also set to feature in the exhibition.
