What is annoying is, that they contract Ferdinand Alexander to Ferdinand ... Ferdinand Porsche is a much bigger number in car history and his grandfather (And his former cottage here in Wolfsburg is still a landmark).

Butzi Porsche was also the cousin of Ferdinand Piëch, the more extreme car designer in the Porsche clan (Porsche 917, Audi R8, Bugatti Veyron), who this week made himself a present to his 75th birthday by buying the motorbike company Ducati...

Yeah, when I saw the thread title I thought, "Wow he must've been like 120 years old!"
