Beautiful. The first generation Boxster, especially in silver, always had a neo-550 vibe.

What a classy, thoughtful and respectful video. I physically ache whenever I see this car. The most beautiful physical iteration of motoring - ever. Much as I love my E Type I would love this more, perhaps the heartache comes from knowing I’ll never be able to afford one…..

Great video guys. But You know that car is NOT a real one right? I have been researching 550s since 1983. This is a great recreation/tribute car. It is running a VW motor. It has what looks like a Beck frame. Looks like proper tires for the era. I think you have been fooled. I can send you 1000s of photos of real ones and fake ones and you decide. Or you can prove me wrong and make another video showing the engine, the interior and the numbers from the frame and the engine. All in one take. :)

Doesn't an exact copy cost like $50,000 usd? I don't see anyone buying it to actually drive it that would be a waste of money to buy something that's going to sit in museum or a garage. It's probably going to sell for between $5-8 million dollars

An exact copy would be more like +100k from Spyder creations. ...a reasonable copy, wit GRP body and ‘similar’ tubular chassis and VW flat 4, would be 50k 👍🏼

Quote: “Glorified overrated Volkswagens.” I agree with Jeremy Clarkson from the Top Gear TV show. Porsche guys call him the Porsche hater. Open the hood of a Volkswagen from that area and open the hood of a Porsche from that period of time, (actually even up to the the 1990s) and look at the engines, not only ugly, but pretty much identical to the Volkswagen beetle engine and they don’t so much better either granted the new cars are excellent in terms of performance, but I still wouldn’t buy one. Plus who will put the engine behind the rear wheels of a sports car, he would have to be an idiot. No wonder so many people crashed these cars. Don’t believe me, watch the Australian historic touring car racing with American cars and Porsches from the 1960s, Porsche has never won against the American sports cars. Don’t believe me? KZfaq these videos, but if you love Porsches I suggest you don’t watch these videos. 1. KZfaq. “2015 Sebring historic’s: Curt Vogt. Bob Woodman challenge.” This 1970 boss 302 mustang. The engine is completely stock, except for pistons and the larger cam. It still has a solid rear axle normally aspirated. The car started in last position and finished first, passing all the air cooled Porches like they were standing still. 2. KZfaq.“Crazy driving from last to top. Ford escort RS 1600.” 1973 Ford escort, normally aspirated four-cylinder Ford Cosworth engine with solid rear axle. Starting from last position and passing about 40 air cooled Porsche . 3. KZfaq the 1974 Ford Capri RS 3100 race car versus Porsches. It’s normally aspirated Ford Cosworth V6 engine that revs up to 8500 RPM and it has a solid rear axle. They call it the Porsche killer because it keeps up or beats factory turbo Porsche race cars.

If only a car was defined by its engine bay and on paper specifications.. The big american muscle Nascars couldnt even finish LeMans in the 70s. The 2 Chargers overheated because they couldnt handle the low octane fuel and the Fords had to retire because the gearbox couldnt handle that many gearshifts. the 935 smoked both of them, infact the K3s still hold the speed record on the Mulsanne Straight for non prototype cars to this day. Porsche to this day is the king of LeMans with the most wins, no other comes even close except Audi with 13 overall wins against Porsches 19.
