Hans Mezger 1929-2020
Total 911 is mourning Hans Mezger after the legendary former Porsche engineer passed away on 10 June, aged 90. Mezger, who joined Porsche in 1956, famously designed the air-cooled 911’s flat six, his genius also gifting Porsche the 917’s 12-cylinder motor and the TAG Turbo Formula One engine, as part of five decades of crafting the company’s most successful combustion engines.
