1957 Porsche 718 RSK Spyder<\/h1>\n
\n

In 1957, at the Nurburgring circuit, in the middle of the racing season, a well-kept secret concerning the 718 RSK was aired. Compared to its predecessor it now had a lowered body with rear fin. The 550 A Spyder car with its 1,489 cc engine developed 142 hp at 7,500 rpm. It sold in the region of 30 models. After several outstanding results in the major long-distance races of the season the 718 model came in runner up in the 1958 World Championship’s sports car category.<\/span><\/p>\n

The successor to the 550 A Spyder is improved in many respects. A space frame of seamless steel tubing provides high rigidity at a very low weight; the suspension and the drum brakes have undergone optimisation. The aerodynamics have been refined \u2013 for Le Mans the co-driver\u2019s side is covered with an aluminium sheet.<\/p>\n

Car No. 29 is powered bya Fuhrmann engine that was enlarged to 1,587 cc, the other three RSK feature the 1,498 cc unit planted in front of the rear axle. Jean Behra and Hans Herrmann clinch a sensational third place overall \u2013 the first overall podium result for Porsche KG right in time for the 10th anniversary of the young sports car manufacturer.<\/p>\n

Edgar Barth and Paul Fr\u00e8re win the 1.5-litre class with their No. 31 RSK and finish fourth overall.<\/p>\n
