The original Contax RTS was designed by Ferdinand Alexander Porsche.
He is an individual of the Porsche family and not connected with
the car company Porsche (maybe he owns some stocks)*. He was
(partiall, as technology had allowed) responsible for the shape of
the camera. All technical details were designed by Yashica/Kyocera
engineers like Prof. Dr. Katsuiko Sugaya (lenses were designed by
Zeiss).

Best regards

*"Not connected..." means he is an independend designer designing frames
for glasses, telephones, lamps, etc. (Porsche Design) and once designed
for the company Porsche the shape of the famous Porsche 911.
