Yes his grandfather was also called Ferdinand, born in the late 18's. Grandad had a son called Ferry, and Ferry had a son called Ferdinand who was the 911 designer.

All three were engineers however there are echoes of Steve Jobs with the younger Ferdinand in that he saw himself as being more of an artist than an engineer. And similar to Jobes at Apple, Porsche designed something with a huge wow factor that everyone wanted. And still wants today.
