保时捷公司当地时间4月5日宣布：公司创始人之孙、费里-保时捷之子，保时捷911跑车设计者费迪南德•亚历山大•保时捷（Ferdinand Alexander Porsche）当天在奥地利萨尔茨堡去世,享年76岁。不过保时捷公司在声明没有提及他的死因。保时捷一生中最重要的产品，也是经典之作当属911无疑，911不仅是保时捷设计技巧的最好证明，而且该车最早的造型元素，包括长而低的引擎盖、向后大幅倾斜的车顶自1963年在法兰克福车展问世以来就一直成为911的永恒造型，一直沿用至今。当然，保时捷不仅设计了911，还有904。

Ferdinand Alexander Porsche-designer of the 911-dies at age 76
Porsche has announced that Ferdinand Alexander Porsche – grandson of Ferdinand Porsche, son of Ferry Porsche and designer of the iconic 911 – passed away today, April 5, at the age of 76. He died in Salzburg, Austria of unknown causes.

It goes without saying that the 911 is the most important product in the history of Porsche, and it's a testament to Ferdinand Alexander's skill as a designer that his original shape has evolved so little since 1963 when it debuted at the Frankfurt Motor Show.

The 911, though, isn't his only achievement. He was also reportedly very proud of another car he designed, the 904, as well as founding the industrial design company Porsche Design Studio in 1972.
