9. 1953 Porsche 550 Spyder

Although the 1953 Porsche 550 Spyder was originally designed and built for use in auto racing, it is one of the top roadsters of all time. The car was built extremely low to the ground in order to be more efficient on the track, and it had its first victory in May of 1953. The 550 Spyder would continue to see significant use on the both the United States and European racing circuits until approximately 1965. The car is powered by a 1.5 liter, V-4 engine that is rated at 135 horsepower. For consumers that do not have the budget to buy an original, the 550 has gone on to be one of the most reproduced classic automobiles over the past several decades, and these remakes cost significantly less to drive and enjoy.
