Tony Hatter is the legendary designer of the Porsche 993, Carrera GT and Le Mans-winning GT1 race car. Now retired from official duties, Mr Hatter enjoys a lengthy discussion with 9WERKS TV's Lee Sibley, where he looks back at highlights from his 34-year career at Porsche. This is an extended video to cover everything Lee and Tony spoke about, from the 959's design influence on the 993, how the 993 evolved 964 design, trialling rear axle steering on the 993, how the Carrera GT project nearly got canned, developing the Carrera GT from prototype to production, plus how the GT1 was designed in quick time, and how the GT1's iconic liveries were put together. It's quite a chat, so enjoy!

    What a privilege it was to hear such a legend discuss a piece of his fabulous work. The 993 is, in my opinion, the greatest 911 ever created, its design is timeless. Thank you, Lee!

    In my opinion, 993 is right up there with Jaguar E-Type, Ferrari Daytona and Mercedes Pagoda. One of the most beautiful cars ever made. Tony Hatter is a living legend. Period.

    Really enjoyed this and I love that some of my favourite aspects of the 993 design were touched on - I can remember the novelty of watching the wipers in my Dad’s as a kid, I thought they were so cool, and I still do! Tony is the reason my mobile number ends in 993911. A great interview with a very humble gentleman!
