Being a racer himself, and knowing of Dr. [[Ferdinand Porsche]]'s exploits with [[Auto Union]] and [[Cisitalia]] Grand Prix cars, he quickly saw the potential contained in Dr. Porsche's first post-war effort, the model [[Porsche 356|356]]. The '''Glockler-Porsches''' were 'specials' in that they were individually hand-built with each successive racecar integrating lessons learned from previous iterations. The first two Glockler-Porsches were designed by Hermann Ramelow, who using modified 356 underpinnings attached to custom-fabricated tube-frames of his own design. They all sported aluminum bodies designed and built by C. W. Weidenhausen. The first two were single-seaters with the engine and transaxle rotated 180 degrees so that the engine was mounted amidships. However, switching the engine location from the 356's rear-engined layout for better weight distribution also caused handling problems with the trailing arm (which initially became leading arm) suspension design. Because they could not fully solve the leading-arm suspension's handling problems (primarily, excessive toe-in under braking), they returned to the rear-engined chassis architecture for the third Glockler-Porsche (pictured). The first Glockler Specials were based on the early [[Porsche 356]] small-bore architecture. Their 1,086 cc engine size allowed them to compete in the under 1,100 cc categories. These engines, running on gasoline, put out a modest 50 hp. Running on alcohol, the small-bore engine put out just over 60 hp. The second Glockler-Porsche was built using a 1,500 cc Porsche engine that, again on alcohol, put out over 80 hp. The third Glockler-Porsche also used a 1,488 cc Porsche engine, but due to modifications by the Porsche factory, it put out 86 h.p. The first two Glockler-Porsches weighed under 1,000 lbs. The third, because it was a two-seater, built on a standard 356 cabriolet floorpan, weighed just over 1,100 lbs. Dr. Porsche was impressed enough with quality of design, craftsmanship, and performance of the Glockler specials that he agreed to have them labeled as Porsches, and further, that he incorporated many of the mid-engined Glockler specials' design elements into his first production racecar, the [[Porsche 550]]. Most Porsche aficionados agree that it was [[Max Hoffman]], who convinced Dr. Porsche to build the [[Porsche 356 Speedster]]: many also claim he did so because he was so impressed with Glockler-Porsche #3 which he bought from Swiss Porsche importer, Hans Stanek and imported to race in the U.S.<br /> <br /> ==Gallery==<br /> <gallery><br /> Image:Glockler-Special(8-13-09).jpg<br /> </gallery><br /> <br /> {{Porsche}}<br /> <br /> ==Complete Racing Results==<br /> ([[:Template:F1 driver results legend 2|key]]) (results in bold indicate '''pole position''')<br /> {| class="wikitable" style="text-align:center; font-size:95%"<br /> !

The 356 was rather quick on track, but due to the small engine size, was limited by class restrictions. Porsche had a dream to produce, from the ground up, a racing car, which would sever many of the roots with the [[Porsche 356|356]], and crucially, the [[Volkswagen Beetle]]. The car was called the '''550''', a number of no significance to the company, and was unveiled in 1953.<br /> <br /> ==The First 'Proper' Racing Car==<br /> <br /> [[Ferdinand Porsche]] always viewed motorsport as a lucrative marketing tool, to show off his company's abilities. Many insiders later went on to say that the road car operation, in the early years, stood only to pay for Porsche's racing exploits. The Porsche 356 was quite successful, but Porsche wanted more, and subsequently created the 550.<br /> <br /> The car drew heavily from a modified 356, built by German Volkswagen dealer [[Walter Glockler]]. The [[Glockler 356]] featured more power, but more specifically, no roof. Glocker had already used the car in competition, embarassing the Porsche works effort. Porsche laid down a brief that requested a lightweight construction, but with proven mechanicals underneath. A simple steel ladder chassis was created, with an [[Ernst Fuhrmann]] designed 1500 cc four cylinder power plant placed a-midships. The engine would develop 100 hp when running on alcohol. The whole construction was clothed in aerodynamically formed aluminium. <br /> <br /> The first race the car entered was at the infamous [[Nurburgring Nordschleife]], where it recorded a win. On the back of this success, the car was entered by the Porsche works team into [[Le Mans]], of the same year. The comany decided to peform major modifications to the Spyder before the race : namely by turning it into a coupe, to help the car to higher top speeds on the long [[Mulsanne straight]]. The roof also produced more downforce - curing the high speed instability of the standard short-tail Spyder. For the race, petrol was adopted as a fuel to improve reliability, and as a consequence, power fell to 80 hp. Even though, the cars were quick enough to record 1500 cc class victories. <br /> <br /> ===Upgrades - and More Success===<br /> <br /> By 1954, the small Spyder had proved itself against much more powerful opposition. The car was upgraded in early 1954 to include more power - 110 BHP - and a stability-enhancing long tail, with prominent rear fins. Customer cars were being offered, and many found themselves Stateside, and immediately made their mark. The Porsche name flew into the headlines, and subsequently the conscious of the car-driving masses, when young actor James Dean was killed in an accident while driving his - this proved a sort of macabre advert for Porsche, for many Americans had not yet heard of the Stuttgart marque.<br /> <br /> The 1954 Le Mans proved another success for Porsche, with both the 1500 cc and 1100 cc class victories falling to the 550. 1955 proved even more successful for the concern, though, with a fourth place overall in Le Mans, and the 550 filling the top four places in the Nurburgring Grand Prix support race. With the 550 RS (Renn Sport - German for Motor Sport), the car was afforded revised rear suspension and a power output boosted to 130BHP. The car proved dominant at the [[Targa Florio]], scoring the first of Porsche's record 11 wins there.<br /> <br /> The successful 550 Spyder was replaced by the [[Porsche 718|718]] in 1958.<br /> <br /> ==Spin-Off Specials==<br /> <br /> The 550 took the racing world by surprise - its ability to punch well above its weight did not cease to amaze. Many drivers at the time wanted some of this success, and began creating specials based upon the 550. An example of this is the 'Durlite', a special created by American gentleman racer [[Bob Webb]]. Webb had damaged his 550 Spyder in a race, and used the basic ladder chassis and the engine, and transplanted them into a car fashioned by his team. The engine itelf was bored out to 1600 cc to allow the Durlite to race in other classes, and developed around 160 BHP. The car disappeared altogether in the Seventies.<br /> <br /> Another example of this workshop special building was the [[Gordini-Porsche]], created in Argentina by European car specialist [[Carl Defosse]]. As suggested by the name, the car was essentially a Gordini racing car, but with the engine and running gear of a 550. The car finished third in class in the Buenos Aires 24 Hour in 1955, but was later sold as the owner pursued faster machinery.<br /> <br /> That the car was used as a basis for so many conversions (there are countless more examples) proves the strength of the 550 concept.<br /> <br /> ==Gallery==<br /> <gallery><br /> Image:Porsche_550.jpg<br /> </gallery><br /> <br /> {{Porsche}}</div>

Being a racer himself, and knowing of Dr. [[Ferdinand Porsche]]'s exploits with [[Auto Union]] and [[Cisitalia]] Grand Prix cars, he quickly saw the potential contained in Dr. Porsche's first post-war effort, the model [[Porsche 356|356]]. The '''Glockler-Porsches''' were 'specials' in that they were individually hand-built with each successive racecar integrating lessons learned from previous iterations. The first two Glockler-Porsches were designed by Hermann Ramelow, who using modified 356 underpinnings attached to custom-fabricated tube-frames of his own design. They all sported aluminum bodies designed and built by C. W. Weidenhausen. The first two were single-seaters with the engine and transaxle rotated 180 degrees so that the engine was mounted amidships. However, switching the engine location from the 356's rear-engined layout for better weight distribution also caused handling problems with the trailing arm (which initially became leading arm) suspension design. Because they could not fully solve the leading-arm suspension's handling problems (primarily, excessive toe-in under braking), they returned to the rear-engined chassis architecture for the third Glockler-Porsche (pictured). The first Glockler Specials were based on the early [[Porsche 356]] small-bore architecture. Their 1,086 cc engine size allowed them to compete in the under 1,100 cc categories. These engines, running on gasoline, put out a modest 50 hp. Running on alcohol, the small-bore engine put out just over 60 hp. The second Glockler-Porsche was built using a 1,500 cc Porsche engine that, again on alcohol, put out over 80 hp.

The first two Glockler-Porsches were designed by Hermann Ramelow, who using modified 356 underpinnings attached to custom-fabricated tube-frames of his own design. They all sported aluminum bodies designed and built by C. W. Weidenhausen. The first two were single-seaters with the engine and transaxle rotated 180 degrees so that the engine was mounted amidships. However, switching the engine location from the 356's rear-engined layout for better weight distribution also caused handling problems with the trailing arm (which initially became leading arm) suspension design. Because they could not fully solve the leading-arm suspension's handling problems (primarily, excessive toe-in under braking), they returned to the rear-engined chassis architecture for the third Glockler-Porsche (pictured). The first Glockler Specials were based on the early [[Porsche 356]] small-bore architecture. Their 1,086 cc engine size allowed them to compete in the under 1,100 cc categories. These engines, running on gasoline, put out a modest 50 hp. Running on alcohol, the small-bore engine put out just over 60 hp. The second Glockler-Porsche was built using a 1,500 cc Porsche engine that, again on alcohol, put out over 80 hp. The third Glockler-Porsche also used a 1,488 cc Porsche engine, but due to modifications by the Porsche factory, it put out 86 h.p. The first two Glockler-Porsches weighed under 1,000 lbs. The third, because it was a two-seater, built on a standard 356 cabriolet floorpan, weighed just over 1,100 lbs. Dr. Porsche was impressed enough with quality of design, craftsmanship, and performance of the Glockler specials that he agreed to have them labeled as Porsches, and further, that he utilized many of the mid-engined Glockler specials' design elements into his first production racecar, the [[Porsche 550]].<br /> <br /> ==Gallery==<br /> <gallery>image:Glockler-Special(8-13-09)<br /> </gallery><br /> {{-}}<br /> <br /> ==Complete Racing Results==<br /> ([[:Template:F1 driver results legend 2|key]]) (results in bold indicate '''pole position''')<br /> {| class="wikitable" style="text-align:center; font-size:95%"<br /> !

Being a racer himself, and knowing of Dr. [[Ferdinand Porsche]]'s exploits with [[Auto Union]] and [[Cisitalia]] Grand Prix cars, he quickly saw the potential contained in Dr. Porsche's first post-war effort, the model [[Porsche 356|356]]. The '''Glockler-Porsches''' were 'specials' in that they were individually hand-built with each successive racecar integrating lessons learned from previous iterations. The Glockler-Porsches were built on modified 356 underpinnings. All were mid-engined, but switching the engine location from the 356's rear-engined layout for better weight distribution also caused handling problems with the trailing arm (which initially became leading arm) suspension design. Because they could not fully solve the leading-arm suspension's handling problems (primarily, excessive toe-in under braking), they returned to the rear-engined chassis architecture for the third Glockler-Porsche (pictured). The first Glockler Specials were based on the early [[Porsche 356]] small-bore architecture. Their 1,086 cc engine size allowed them to compete in the under 1,100 cc categories. These engines, running on gasoline, put out a modest 50 hp. Running on alcohol, the small-bore engine put out just over 60 hp. The second Glockler-Porsche was built using a 1,500 cc Porsche engine that, again on alcohol, put out over 80 hp. The third Glockler-Porsche also used a 1,488 cc Porsche engine, but due to modifications by the Porsche factory, it put out 86 h.p. The first two Glockler-Porsches were tube-frame, single-seaters with the driver sitting in the center of the car. These racecars weighed under 1,000 lbs. The third was as two-seater, built on a standard 356 cabriolet floorpan, which raised the weight to 1,133 lbs.<br /> <br /> ==Gallery==<br /> <gallery><br /> </gallery><br /> {{-}}<br /> <br /> ==Complete Racing Results==<br /> ([[:Template:F1 driver results legend 2|key]]) (results in bold indicate '''pole position''')<br /> {| class="wikitable" style="text-align:center; font-size:95%"<br /> !
