Production notes
Migrate the 1955 Porsche 550 Spyder Spezial as a one-off Sports Cars/Piero Drogo identity. Do not populate chassis_number: specialist sources conflict between an association with damaged 550-0043 and an alternative 550-07(?) identity. Preserve donor-chassis research as an explicit conflict.

Engine & performance

Specification notes
AUDIT 2026-10-20 — residual legacy Inline-4 removed. The existing dossier preserves the Drogo/Sports Cars 1955 body but leaves donor-chassis 0043 versus 550-07 and project mechanics open. No donor configuration is promoted to this special. NO_AUTO_INHERIT.
