    • Abstract:
      Ferdinand Piech was featured in Six Men Who Built the Modern Auto Industry by Richard Johnson, the now-retired print editor of Automotive News. As a teenager, Piech spent summer vacations helping his uncle Ferry Porsche build the first Porsche 356 sports cars. Ferry's son Ferdinand Alexander "Butzi" Porsche was there, too, but while Butzi was playful and friendly, the family began to notice that Piech, the son of Ferry's sister Louise and her lawyer husband Anton Piech, was astonishingly intense and single-minded.
