The Porsche 718 is a series of one- and two-seat sports-racing cars that Porsche built from 1957 to 1962, with an open-wheel single-seater developed for Formula racing. It developed the 550A with better bodywork and suspension, and its full name 718 RSK stands for RennSport and the K shape of its torsion-bar suspension. It was mid-engined and used the 1.5 litre quad-cam Fuhrmann engine of 142 horsepower from the 550A. Variants included the single-seat RSK Mittellenker for Formula 2, the 718/2 monoposto, the RS 60, which won at Sebring and the Targa Florio in 1960, the RS 61, the W-RS with a flat-eight and the 718 GTR Coupe.
