Porsche Motorsport has introduced an 80-percent-scale replica of the 550 Spyder, built as a limited-edition collector's piece rather than a driver's car. The tribute swaps the original's engine for an electric drivetrain, arriving as Porsche marks 75 years since the 550 Spyder's debut. It's a scaled keepsake, not a toy, made for the marque's collectors.

With reporting from Road & Track.
