This one of one Porsche could be yours

Remember when a Porsche 550 Spyder finished the gruelling 3,000 kilometer Carrera Panamericana Mexico rally in third place back in 1954, both giving Porsche motorsport credibility and popularizing the, ‘Carrera,’ name for years to come? No, we suspect you’re probably a bit young for that.

In any case Porsche is celebrating 70 years since its achievement with this one-off 718 Spyder RS, putting immense effort and creativity into naming it the, ‘Panamericana Special.’PIMS 2024: Five units of Honda Civic Type R Group A available for PH marketCenenaire Silver paint has been applied to all the aero-focused body panels , and extends through to the NACA ducts, air intakes, and the Gurney Flap rear wing. You also get magnesium wheels hiding ceramic brakes.

The mostly black cabin gets bits of leather in high-contact areas, a Carmine Red steering wheel and bucket seats, and embroidered badging on the headrests. Elsewhere, there are bespoke floor mats, and a fully integrated watch mount.One very cool feature is the revised and illuminated door sills which show a Mexican flag on the driver’s side, and the silhouette of a 550 on the passenger’s side. Yeah, we agree all 718 Spyders should come with this as standard.

Price? That actually depends on you, because the Panamericana Special will be auctioned off later this year, with proceeds then going to non-profit charities across Latin America.See Also Read Next Only 20 of these modified Moncler Mercedes-Benz G-Wagons will be made View other articles about:
