Porsche - Racing the Spyder

The Porsche Spyder was a racing car for all occasions. Ken Miles drove it in city traffic in Los Angeles. For Wolfgang Graf Berghe von Trips, it was the springboard to a world career. Hans Herrmann not only achieved the first important class victories in the Spyder. He also made an impressive comeback in the Spyder after his serious Formula 1 accident. The little sports car even went down well with the ladies. Ruth Levy Raymond said: ‘I enjoyed the wonderful feeling of sitting in a car that was tailor-made for me’. And Formula 1 star Stirling Moss said before the Targa Florio: ‘It was a morning when I woke up and was certain: you have the ideal car for today's race.’
