Saddened to hear of the passing of Porsche legend Hans Mezger. What an incredible legacy to have left behind. A genius engineer, who spent his entire career at Porsche, the engines he created powered countless Sportscar and F1 wins, not to mention the 911. Godspeed Herr Mezger.

The death of Hans Mezger (90), creator and developer, among others, of the Porsche 917 and its boxer 12 engine, of the flat 6 engine of the 911 and of the 1.5 V6 turbo F1 with which McLaren was crowned !!! There are people who should never disappear.

RIP Hans Mezger. True Porsche petrol heads understood what was in the back of their car, and the heritage literally behind them.
