Matthias Mueller, Porsche CEO, has dropped the biggest hint yet that his company is considering reviving the 550 Spyder. The news follows an interview Mueller had with German publication Handelsblatt, where he was quoted, “I can imagine that such a modern version of the famous James Dean Porsche would be well-received by our customers.”
Perhaps one of the few times you’ll hear an automotive CEO promoting their product by referencing a celebrity who was famously killed in one of their cars, but there you have it.
Said to be cheaper than the current entry-level Boxster there’s also a chance the new 550, based on the Audi R4, will bump the Boxster from the Porsche line up.
