One of the true giants in Porsche engine development. Long and brilliant life. Sad news.

And what a great legacy to have left behind, one of the greatest automotive engines of all time with his name on it.

I will drive my Metzer engine at redline to night to honour Hans. Rest in Peace.

Now he and Paul Rosche (his BMW equivalent) can talk shop up there.....

RIP.

Nice obit here.

Next time I drive my old RS with its bucket-of-bolts rattle at idle, I will be reminded of him.

This is the sound I will always associate with the Mezger engine:

The 917 still does it for me.

Correct me if I'm wrong but is that bucket of bolts rattle not a light weight fly wheel? The noise from those things at idle is quite amazing.

It took Porsche and Hans Mezger's team 10 months to produce the 917.

The Federal Government has spent some 5 years to try to get the Public Service Phoenix Pay System to work. LOL
No doubt the incompetent management are getting salary increases and bonuses. Thank you Marie Lemay.
