After abandoning the Formula 1 programme in 1962, it was imperative for the German manufacturer to get back on its feet. Dr. Hans Tomala, Porsche’s Technical Director, decided to turn his attention to Grand Touring, and asked the design genius FA “Butzi” Porsche, father of the 911, to take charge of the design...
