Short for Super Sport Kurz, the roadster was the last car to be designed by Ferdinand Porsche before he set up his enterprise.

The SSK saw numerous Grand Prix victories during its production (1928 – 1932) thanks to its massive engine – a 7-Litre straight-6 engine which powered the car to a top speed of 190 KPH.

This elegant design is a result of a combined effort of Count Carlo Felice Trossi, who bought the chassis of the SSK in 1930, and an unknown English coach builder, Wiilie White, who put Trossi’s vision into reality.

It has surely earned its name, the Black Prince. It rests at the garage of a bloke named Ralph Lauren.
