Nothing is left to chance in the design of an automobile. This drawing, made on the 695 platform on February 14, 1957, examined the change in weight distribution by the number of occupants and luggage. Porsche Archiv

In the design studio, these were known as “A” and “B,” done in 1:1 scale. Photographed on July 24, 1957, the version on the A passenger side was Porsche staffer Heinrich Klie’s work while the B driver’s side represented Goertz’s second approach to the 695. Porsche Archiv

With little modification, Goertz’s Typ 695 concept would have worked well as either a front- or rear engine model. By this time in 1957, no single Porsche model used such hard edges and abrupt cut lines. Porsche Archiv

At the same time Klie worked alongside Goertz on the full-size A/B twins, he continued developing smaller scale concepts for consideration. This 1:7.5 clay model appeared on July 26, 1957, two days after he and Goertz had completed the full-size twins. Porsche Archiv

Heinrich Klie adopted design elements from Albrecht Goertz that Ferry Porsche admired, including the long sweeping arch from windshield to rear end. Perhaps acknowledging suggestions from F. A. Porsche before he left for school at Ulm, this model briefly bore a name, “Junior.” Porsche Archiv

The Goertz concept provided abundant glass supported by thin pillars. Ferry saw his first hints of the long fastback roofline of the production 911 in this model. Porsche Archiv

The rear of Klie’s B side appeared to offer a bit more room for the engine with higher bumper height as well. Klie may have known of pending regulations, or he meant only to do something differently than Goertz. Porsche Archiv

This unsigned 1957 sketch of ideas for the 695 appeared to overlay a perspective view of the driver’s front fender with the profile of the door. The covered headlight was a popular idea in those days, but the elliptical rear window suggests this may be a concept from F. A. Porsche. Porsche Archiv

This Typ 644 coupe followed rooflines Komenda favored as they experimented with further Typ 356 forms. This full-four seater, drawn in 1:7.5-scale on August 6, 1957, used a 2,250-millimeter wheelbase. Porsche Archiv

Goertz’s first full-size Plasticine model of the Typ 695 presented Ferry Porsche a radical departure from the rounded forms Erwin Komenda and his staff offered. Ferry had the model photographed in early March 1958. Porsche Archiv

This technical drawing, completed July 14, 1959, did not identify wheelbase or overall dimensions. Instead, this plan, described as âBody measurements for Traffic equipment Typ 644 on T5 Program (695),â addressed in detail placement of lights and reflectors. Porsche Archiv
