Ferdinand Alexander Porsche Has Passed Away
The designer of the Porsche 911 the most iconic sport car in the world, Ferdinand Alexander Porsche, died last Thursday in Salzburg, Austria at the age of 76. Ferdinand Alexander Porsche, the grandson of Ferdinand Porsche who created the original Volkswagen, designed the first 911 in 1962. He went on to develop race cars for the Germany automaker until leaving the Stuttgart-based company in 1972 with other family members, when Porsche was transformed into a joint stock company. Porsche just recently unveiled the seventh generation of the 911 with little changes to its iconic design. It now comes with a 350bhp engine capable of a top speed of 289km/h and able to reach 100 km from standstill in 4.6 seconds.
After leaving Porsche, Ferdinand Alexander Porsche founded the Porsche Design Studio, where he devoted himself to developing watches, eyeglasses, writing utensils and other design projects. He was a proponent of clear, austere lines. His credo was “design must be functional and the functionality must be visually implemented without gags that need to be explained,” according to the Porsche statement.
