Ferdinand Alexander Porsche (11 December 1935 – 5 April 2012), also known with the nicknamed "Butzi", was a German designer whose best known product was the first Porsche 911. He is the son of Ferry Porsche, and the grandson of Ferdinand Porsche.[1]
While his grandfather and father were both engineers, he was more involved in working out the appearance of a product. He never thought of himself as an artist or designer, but more as a technically talented craftsman in shaping.[citation needed]
