LIVE: Vintech's Porsche 550 tribute breaks cover in Pebble Beach | LeftLaneNews

A French company called Vintech has traveled to the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance to reveal its latest creation, a retro-styled sports car dubbed P550 Tribute that was designed as a homage to the iconic Porsche 550 of the 1950s.
At first glance the P550 Tribute appears to be only a vague interpretation of the Porsche 550 Spyder that James Dean famously died in. However, when compared to the much rarer 550 Coupe, the P550's design cues immediately fall into place and its true inspiration becomes clear.
From the shape of the windshield to the fastback-like rear end, the P550 is a modern interpretation of Porsche's race-winning coupe. The only exception is that the P550 is fitted with gullwing-style doors, a feature that was not found on the car it draws inspiration from.
