That stretched beetle couldn't go any farther.

Wow, he was really young when he designed the original.

Salzburg is a beautiful place, got to spend a few days there. If that is where he picked to live his life I can see why.

RIP not only for designing the 1st 911 but for his work with Porsche Design as well.

Porsche Tower:

Called Porsche Design Tower, the project is a joint effort between the design studio and real estate developer Gil Dezer. The 57-story block on 2.2 acres of prime Collins Avenue real estate is set to incorporate 132 housing units, each with its own parking spaces. That bit is straightforward enough, but it's where the slots are situated that is the novelty.

Rather than have residents park downstairs and take elevators up to their condos, the project includes three robotic car elevators that allow residents to take their cars right up to their pads.
