Schuco Piccolos still make a good impression today on account of their excellent running qualities and their heavy zinc die-casting design like the Mercedes-Benz 170 V limousine with carburettor.

After the first Porsche sports car, the so-called Porsche No. 1, was individually licensed for road traffic as early as the 8th of June 1948, in March 1949, Porsche presented its first production sports car at the Geneva Salon de l‘Auto, the legendary Porsche 356. Using classical tuning techniques, such as modified cylinder heads and twin carburettors, on the 4-cylinder boxer engine taken over from the VW Beetle, the engine power of the first Porsche 356 could be increased to a respectable 40 hp. Between 1949 and 1950, a total of 44 coupé and 8 convertible versions of the so-called „Gmünd Porsche 356“ were entirely hand-built. In 1950, Porsche moved back to its main factory in Stuttgart-Zuffenhausen in which, by the end of production of the type 365 in April 1965, slightly over 76,000 of this sports car icon were produced.

„To begin with, I looked around but could not see the car of which I dreamed. So I decided to build it myself.“ Based on this famousquote from Ferry Porsche, there appeared in 1948 the first mass-production sports car of the Porsche brand - the 356. During the timeof its production, from 1948 to 1965, more than 76,000 356s were produced in the different variants such as coupé, hardtop coupé,convertible and speedster. With the 356, Porsche established its reputation as a producer of high-quality, elegant and highlyefficient sports cars. The Porsche 356 is now one of the sought-after sports car classics and, whether as a model or the original, isan inspiration with its timeless, attractive design.
More than 76,000 examples of the classic Porsche 356 sports car were produced between 1948 and 1965. The Porsche 356 was offered to its enthusiastic customers as a Coupé, cabriolet and hardtop coupé as well as a more nimble and lighter Speedster version. The top model of the Porsche 356 A series was without doubt the Carrera. Powered by a 1.6-litre four-cylinder, air-cooled engine, the Carrera produced 100bhp, allowing the extremely lightweight Speedster to reach a fantastic top speed of over 125 mph, which was quite a remarkable feat at that time. Under the motto "win on Sunday - sell on Monday", the Porsche 356 Speedster, in the hands of a number of private American drivers, won many of the then very popular club races held in the USA. The best known and without doubt most successful "privateer" Porsche racer in the United States was Bruce Jennings, who became known as "King Carrera". Jennings’ racing career spread over 35 years reflected more than 200 wins in various racing cars. His most famous privately owned car, a Porsche 356 Carrera Speedster with the start number "77", is now presented by Schuco as a wonderful collectible limited to just 1000 copies worldwide. Just like the other models of the Schuco Edition 1:18, the Porsche 356 A Speedster comes with many lovingly crafted details, such as opening and closing doors, a front opening hood and the opening bonnet under which the highly detailed replica of the "Fuhrmann engine" is accommodated. The limited special edition "70 Years of Porsche Sports Cars" additionally comes with the hardtop which was newly developed and specially designed for the Speedster at that time.
To mark "70 Years of Porsche Sports Cars", Schuco presents an Edition 1:18 version of the Porsche 550 Spyder, limited to just 777 copies worldwide. Based on the technical principles of the Porsche 356, the specialists in Porsche’s Racing department developed the 550 Spyder between 1952 and 1953, which was originally designed exclusively as a racing car. The type designation "550" actually refers to the vehicle’s kerb weight of 550 kilograms, which is incredibly low by modern-day standards. Wrapped in lightweight aluminium body panels, the sports car was powered by a 1.5-litre, four-cylinder, air-cooled engine. The overall victory of Italian racing star Umberto Maglioli at the world famous Targa Florio in Sicily in 1956 represented the first big sporting achievement of the still relatively young Porsche brand and helped to cement its image as a lightweight, reliable and highly-efficient sports car. Not least due to the huge demand from many sports drivers and well-heeled Porsche enthusiasts in the USA, the 550 Spyder was soon approved for road use and could be purchased from Porsche dealers for 24,600 German marks. Today, examples in good condition fetch up to 4 million euros. Just like the other models of the Schuco Edition 1:18, the Porsche 550 A Spyder comes with many lovingly crafted details, such as opening and closing doors, a front opening hood and the opening bonnet under which the highly detailed replica of the "Fuhrmann engine" is accommodated.
Porsche started to develop its first racing car in 1952 at its headquarters in Stuttgart-Zuffenhausen. This culminated in the launchof the Porsche 550 Spyder, which was based on the specs of the Porsche 356. This mid-engined car was equipped with a lightweight metal chassis and sported a 1.5-litre, 4-cylinder boxer engine known as the ‘Fuhrmann’ engine. Weighing just 550 kg, the Porsche 550 Spyder helped the fledgling brand to develop its reputation as a manufacturer of lightweight, reliable and efficient sports cars. At the 24Hours of Le Mans in 1955, the 550 Spyder was driven by the racing duo Polenski/von Frankenberg, who came fourth overall and first inthe 1500 ccm vehicle class. Due to very high demand from racing drivers and well-heeled Porsche enthusiasts from the US, the 550Spyder soon received approval for road use and could be ordered for 24,600 German marks at Porsche dealers.
