1955 Porsche 550 Spyder Tribute
Hire this Porsche 550 Spyder Tribute for your event
James Dean, iconic American actor, famously said "The prime reason for existence, for living in this world, is discovery." At MTV, we like to honor this notion by having a replica of Dean's infamous Porsche 550 Spyder in the fleet. Introduced at the Paris Auto Show in 1953, the 550 model was a superior race car in a period of icons, still celebrated today. Small and nimble, quick and powerful – this car had it all. Of course, Dean, a budding gentleman racer himself, had to have one of his own. Dubbed the 'Little Bastard" and numbered with #130 on the decklids, S/N 055 was a menace on the road and track. Sadly, it was also the car in which Dean fatally crashed at the CA Route 46/41 Cholame Junction on September 30, 1955. Ours is a tribute to the history of this beautiful car, while also offering modern creature comforts. Fitted with a 2.5L VW engine, 4-speed manual gearbox and excellent brakes, you'll feel comfortable in the cockpit. Moving fast and sounding great, making it a true Hollywood blast from the past.
