RIP to a great pioneer.

What was it about Enzo, everone wanted to beat that guy! People risked life and limb just to make sure his cars didn't win? Anyway sad day for car enthusiasts everywhere. Never forget the fist time I drove a 911 turbo, I thought I was in a rocket ship, actually I was.

An icon and true pioneer in sports cars. RIP

Sad day, I always liked the older models better, my Porsche grail would be a red slant nose

Great taste around here. They did a 959s too, very few made, they had A/C and other luxuries stripped out of them.

RIP Ferdinand

Im with you, except when you have one that requires import parts and was hacked by the US Dep of Transportation when imported in order to pass emissions.

This car at Dakar with its technology ruled. Plus its the only car in that era that would match the technology of the F1 cars (active suspension, twin turbos etc). This was the only way for mortals to feel like Senna.

mjclark32 · 6 April 2012, 09:03 AM

Sad day indeed. RIP.

conrail · 6 April 2012, 09:59 AM

Wow, can't believe mainstream news didn't pick this up - I heard nay a peep. RIP.

Porsche · 6 April 2012, 10:14 AM

RIP Butzi

I think I will take the air cooled 964 out for a spin, let it scream it's head off a bit in his honour

You owe him that

I loved my Porsches over the years. Two were his design, the last much different.

These aren't my pictures - I'm sure I have some old prints somewhere but these are the right models & colors.

The only one I wish I and kept was the Targa...

Godspeed Ferdinand - you gave us an icon to love forever.

TSW · 6 April 2012, 04:50 PM

Sad indeed.

zama · 7 April 2012, 10:09 PM

As a teenager, I had two pictures on my walls, one was a Countach with a naked girl, the other was a white 1982 911sc Convertible, I figured these were my grail cars. SO far I have owned one, and enjoyed it the Bull is yet to come. Will miss you Ferdinand.

I bet you had some frantic wrist action going on back then. LOL.

zama · 8 April 2012, 07:11 AM

Would not have been a teenage boy if I didn't. Still don't get why my mother never made me take down the Lambo picture. Rest assured if I ever own one, it will always have two meanings

Fantastic design.
