Just found out about this, an architect of much of Porsche’s golden age, road and race.
RIP

What a man, a real Engineer and as James said lived a long life and left his mark. How many can say that? Next time I fire up my Mezgar engine I will think of Hans. RIP.

What a legacy to have!
Such great achievements and we have the chance to enjoy what he did so much.
I'll think about him every time out in the 911 and every time the Lola hits the red line on a hill climb!
RIP.
