A Porsche 550 (also called 1500 RS) Spyder is something very special. The vehicles are sometimes traded in the millions, which is also a reason for doing business with replicas blooms. And one of these replicas is the “Selfish” project from the tuner S-Klub. LA with Vintage motorcars Shell. And this has been going on for a few days on the YouTube channel of "Hoonigan AutoFocus“Attracted attention and was on display at the TOYO TIRES stand at the last SEMA Auto Show. As already mentioned, the body comes from Vintage motorcars who specialize in Spyder replicas of old Porsche classics. And this copy is not even a one-off. Yes, more on that later. This 550 replica convinces with a flawless clean look and of course because of the uniqueness of the central seating position.
almost like in the McLaren F1
The minimalist cabin is similar to that of the McLaren F1 with a central steering wheel and seat, on which there are two more seats like the F1 (right & left next to it) has been omitted. That would have been a little tight! But moving the seat in the middle alone is of course not a solution. The entire dashboard, the pedals, the steering linkage, the tank in the middle under the front flap and many other components must be converted so that the whole thing can also be used. Vintage Motorcars has done this impressively and everything has been filled with a beautiful orange. And there was even a minimalist windshield to protect the driver. The body is wrapped in an elegant shade of brown from the Toyota shelf and the classic ones Fuchs alloy wheels wear, based on the interior, an orange TOYO-TIRES tire Sticker, The Selfish project name is also found on the long fenders and under the ultra-light fiberglass cover that acts as the rear, a 2,6-liter VW T4 engine with an increase in performance to almost 200 hp provides propulsion.
Empty weight only 590 kg
Considering an empty weight of just 590 kg, more than sufficient, as the video shows. Many small details such as the quick-release fasteners for the front flap, the partially gold-plated engine, the cool exterior mirrors that are even smaller than those of the original or the golden reference to the air cooling of the engine impressively round off the beautiful replica. And as already mentioned, it is not even a one-off. Vintage Motorcars has one more second vehicle built that with a Subaru boxer engine including turbocharging causes a sensation. Ps. The idea for the vehicle comes from the virtual pen of Jon Sibal Design, If we receive timely information on further details of the 550 replica, there is of course an update for this report.
