Ben & Cheryl Dimson had a huge impact at Porsche for over a decade, with Ben helping to design the 964 and 959, while Cheryl redesigned the Porsche crest and penned the iconic ‘Carrera’, ‘turbo’ and ‘targa’ scripts! 

This fascinating interview takes us inside Porsche in the 1980s, with talk about meeting the Porsche family, cultivating design homogeny, and fast runs on the autobahn. Thanks to Ben & Cheryl for their time – a visual version of this interview is available via 9WERKS TV on YouTube. Enjoy!
