yeh, his IMS went...
he wasn't the original one anyway (one that worked for adolf).

Another Porsche that's lacking in feedback.
Too soon?

Anyway, sad news - I believe this Ferry still had quite an input to the business?

A sad day. Makes his signature on the back of my RS all the more special. Time to go for a drive.

RIP Butzi

I was going to drive my 911 home slowly & sedately as a mark of respect, but instead I'm going to drive it as he would have liked as a mark of respect.

RIP.

Cue butzi special edition, no I'm not joking.

Quite a man though, not afraid to comment on modern matters at Porsche even if those views didn't toe the company line.

Didn't know he was alive. Will always be remembered for designing one of the most iconic car/products ever. RIP probably better he won't see what VW group is going to do in the future;)
