Professional Automotive Photographer Mike Maez photographs the 1959 Porsche 718 RSK Spyder, chassis 718-023 in Essex, MA. The Porsche 718 RSK is a series of one or two-seat sports-racing cars built by Porsche from 1957 to 1962. With 718 RSK, where "RS" stands for RennSport (sports-racing) and the "K" reflects the shape of the car's revised torsion-bar suspension, the RSK Spyder utilizes a mid-engined layout and uses the 142 horsepower (106 kW) 1.5-litre Type 547/3 quad-cam engine introduced in the 550A. The 718 RSK later served as inspiration for the 2017 Porsche 718 Cayman and Boxster models.
