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.

That sounds like what I meant to say
