Another set of numbers that is as significant as "911" in Porsche's history is "718." Currently, this historic model name lives on in the Porsche 718 Boxster and 718 Cayman, modern mid-engine sports cars honoring a legend born on the racetrack more than six decades ago.
The 718 RSK originally appeared in 1957. Derived from the iconic Porsche 550 Spyder, it was a lightweight open-top sports car powered by a 1.5-liter, mid-mounted, flat-four engine.
This mid-engine layout afforded the 718 RSK perfect balance and a performance level above its class. Through the years these traits let the model clinch victories at some of motorsport's most prestigious events, like the Targa Florio and the 12 Hours of Sebring.
