The Forza Horizon 5 Rami's Racing History update is here and this latest series update celebrates the past, present, and future of motoring in Mexico with each season highlighting the motoring decade. The Wet Season highlights pre-70s motoring and the prize car in question is something your parents and grandparents would love; the ancient Porsche 550A Spyder.
With the prize car in question obtained, it's time to have a hardline with this ancient Porsche from a very long time ago. The Porsche 550 is well-known to have a Giant Killer image following its trumped-up performance that trumped the fat cats on the road and track and this Spyder model, the 550A, follows the same recipe.
Like the normal 550, the Spyder is powered by an air-cooled 1.5L flat-four engine that produces 109HP of power and 95ft-lb of torque. Unlike the normal 550, which uses a ladder chassis, the Spyder uses a space frame, which cuts its weight by about 95 pounds and increased rigidity.
The 550A's noteworthy accomplishments include a class win in the 1957 Mille Miglia and a victory in the 1957 Targa Florio.
A well-known fact is that James Dean drove this car to his death.
Now that we quickly learned about the 550A Spyder, it's time for me to give this ancient Porsche an unforgettable drive worthy of its racing pedigree with a rather bumpy twist. Good luck surviving this one!
Battered and bent but it managed to survive and win the race.
Enjoy your new ride!
