i watched a biography thing on Ferdinand Porsche, that showed his whole life
he didn't even seem like he loved cars that much, he was an engineer, and he built trains and vehicles for the military.
He didn't even really start the idea for sporty cars
Hitler asked him to design the beetle, a cheap car for the german people.
He did that, and then later on with the influence of his son, they started making sportier cars, and then after they were selling well in the U.S. they started making more
but he was more interested in engineering and mechanical invention type things than making fast sports cars
don't get me wrong, he did like making those, but it wasn't a pure love for cars and racing like enzo ferrari
