The 1959 Porsche 718 RSK is a legendary racing machine that exemplifies Porsche’s engineering prowess and competitive spirit in the late 1950s. Evolved from the successful 550 Spyder, the RSK featured a lightweight tubular spaceframe chassis and a mid-mounted 1.5-liter four-cam flat-four engine that delivered impressive power for its size. With its low-slung, aerodynamic body and finely tuned suspension, the 718 RSK dominated in both hill climbs and endurance races, including class wins at the 24 Hours of Le Mans and overall victories in events like the Targa Florio.
