RIP

I think his F1 engine was the masterpiece, but the 917 or flat 6 lump werent too shabby either.

Got to meet him twice. It's why I tell people to go to Rennsport Reunions. You have the chance to meet and listen to these Porsche legends. Amazing engineer. Happy to have one of his pieces of art in my 964.
