Old man Porsche (FA Porsche I) was the guy that designed the VW. He had two kids - FA Porsche II (Ferry) and Louise Porsche Peich. Porsche II was the guy that actually started Porsche as we know it, when his dad was rotting in jail in France for being a Nazi (actually the French wanted some VW technology for Renault). FA Porsche III was the son of FA Porsche II, and was the designer of the 904 and 911. Ferdinand Peich was the son of Louise and helped design the 911 engine, and drove the Porsche Racing program in the early 70s (the 917 was his idea, I believe). He went to Audi when FA Porsche II kicked the family out of the business in the 70s. FA Porsche III started Porsche Design.
