The 550 was a racing sports car produced from 1953 to 1956.

In that time only a few 550's were produced. The 550 is a mid-engine car with an air-cooled four-cylinder engine, following the precedent of the 1948 356 prototype.

The mid-engine racing design was further developed with the 718 model; its advantages led to it becoming the dominant design for top-level racing cars by the mid-1960s.

We are in the process of developing a new body to match the 550 design.

More details will be added as we progress with the development.
