After 3 years, Mr. 911 takes over again: From Mr. Frank to Mr. Frank... (huh?)

From Frank-Steffen Walliser to Frank Moser

Mr. Frank-Steffen Walliser, who replaced Mr. August Achleitner from 2019 and became "Mr. 911" for Porsche.

The reason why it is called Mr.911 is because these people are the top people in the development of Porsche 911 and 718. Because it is a very influential presence (as Vice President / Vice President of the 911 & 718 division as a title).

Mr. Frank, who was in such a position, will leave this position from October 2022 and will be replaced by another person.

Who is Frank Moser?

Mr. Frank Moser (Frank Moser) will be the new vice president of the 911 & 718 division.

The new Frank (Moser) is the person in charge of the corporate quality department, and has been working for Porsche since 1996.

The 52-year-old originally worked as a mechanic in the development department for 16 years before moving to the production department in 2013 to become the quality manager at the factory in Zuffenhausen.

Since 2014, Mr. Frank (Moser), who has been responsible for the quality of Porsche as a whole, seems to be evaluated as a very strong leader and team player with a very good eye for excellent quality and design.

Frank (Walliser) will be responsible for Porsche's future technical design for all models and will work closely with development officer Michael Steiner.

Up until now, Mr. Frank (Mr. Walliser) said:

“Our 911s and 718s are guarded by Mr. Franck (Moser). He understands every detail of Porsche and has always given the final OK before launching each model from a quality standpoint. It's because he's the one who gave it to me."

And that.

"If the 911 is no longer a gasoline engine car, I want it to be after I retire."

Well, after receiving this personnel appointment, I will read into various things again. *This is my complete personal opinion.

Until now, Porsche has officially written that person as vice president of 911 & 718 as "Mr. 911" (Mr. 911 will be replaced), but this time it is official is not called "Mr.911".

It seems to me that this is somehow intentional.

what? Well, I don't know what it is, but I wonder if I want to get rid of the "existence called Mr. 911" in the future.

And I think that this is one of the reasons for the change of position at this time, which seems to be very early. ※ I'm persistent, but it's my own speculation ^ ^

That's what Mr. Frank (Mr. Walliser) said in March 2020, "If the 911 is no longer a gasoline engine car, I want it to be after I retire."

He was said to fight to keep the 911 as a gasoline engine car as much as possible, so when the future Porsche 911 comes out, he himself will not be "Mr. 911" who put out that 911 in the world I wondered if they thought I didn't want to.

Well, read deeply again, read deeply ^^

Ah, but when I think about Mr. Frank (Mr. Walliser), I make my own speculations and fantasies like this, and I cry.

Of course, it doesn't matter at all, it's just a possibility of a personnel change.

However, I thought that Mr. Frank (Mr. Walliser) was no longer able to fight for the future 911 that he wanted with his own strength.

By the way, Mr. Frank (Mr. Walliser) is a person who has a strong desire to let Porsche survive the NA engine model at any cost, and he has been fighting against Porsche itself to keep the manual transmission in the 911. It's the one who

I do not take the new Frank (Mr. Moser) negatively.
However, it is sad that Mr. Frank will no longer be Mr. 911.

The new Frank is:

“While we have an exciting task ahead of us over the next few years, we must carefully develop further while preserving the core values of the iconic 911 for Porsche.”

“We also aim to electrify the 718 model line in the future, and the development team is already working hard to redefine the fully electric 718 as a true sports car.”

Is said.
