Ken Miles

• Highly innovative and unique racing car
Ken Miles was highly frustrated caused by the robustness of the Porsche Spyder series cars. All these cars were built tough to finish European endurance races, but this toughness added weight For America sprints, Miles sought lightness, first with his Cooper-Porsche in the early 50ies. This car was continuously developed by him and carries some of the most interesting technical advances of its time.
