Woah. I didn't expect that. I love the original 911. Rest in peace, Mr. Porsche.

I hope Porsche throws one hell of a goodbye for him, hopefully something every porsche lover could benefit from.

As much as I hate Porsche. The news of Ferdinand Porsche passing away is leaving a great black hole in the automotive world. But as long as the 911 lives on so will his legacy.
Never forgotten. Ferdinand Alexander Porsche.

We mustn't just live in sorrow. He was a great man, a genius. He made an icon, he made a legend... He was, and always be, a legend.

R.I.P. Ferdinand Alexander Porsche, we'll miss you. You will be remembered by all, but your passion will live with the 911 forever.
You were a designer, a artist and a innovator. A man who made a car so iconic. Iconic, that we enthusiasts grew up with scale cars of 911s, to putting up posters of 911s, driving them on video games, even to the day we buy the real 911, you were the inspirer to millions of car people around the world.
Long live the 911!

RIP Dr. Porsche.
Some may have ridiculed the 911, but there is no denying that his machines were the measuring stick for the rest to compare to.

I would argue that he has, at least, ceased at his peak - the current range of Porsches are, to me, the most breathtaking and impressive that has been ever offered. Before the newest 911, I had very little interest beyond the simply epic Carrera GT. I saw them as boring, of geriatric suitability and couldn't come to like the 'evolution rather than revolution' design philosophy. Now I believe they offer some of the most beautiful cars in the world alongside Jaguar and Aston Martin and certainly some of the most desirable. They laugh at radical alteration for a simple reason - they're already nigh on perfect. And it all started with a chap called Ferdinand. Rest in peace.
