Ferry Porsche

Ferry Porsche, son of the Beetle's designer, founded the sports car business in its post-war form and drove the concept of the 356 in 1948 because he could not find the car he wanted to buy. Karl Rabe engineered it and Erwin Komenda shaped the body, but the brief and the decisions were Ferry's. He also guided the 911, whose shape his son Butzi drew, and kept the company focused on one kind of car for decades.
