With the king-shaft four-cylinder engine, Porsche broke new ground in engine construction and laid the foundations for countless motorsport successes. The first driving tests were carried out in secret, with only the changed sound betraying the new engine. Richard von Frankenberg was allowed to take a seat in the Porsche 550 Spyder at an early stage and his comparisons with the standard cars of the time are impressive and instructive. This article reproduces the original report from 1954 and shows the Porsche 550 Spyder in many historical pictures.
