    Introduction<\/strong><\/p>\n

    The editors came across this survey by accident whilst researching an A&R article on the Lotus Esprit.<\/p>\n

    We were rather interested and record the findings to share with our subscribers.<\/p>\n

    The editors deliberately use benchmarking as a means of comparison to establish values.<\/p>\n

    We invite subscribers to examine the outcomes published .It\u2019s possible that they will have differing priorities and indeed might identify omissions.<\/p>\n

    The exercise has a positive educational opportunity and can trigger a more in-depth analysis.<\/p>\n

    On this occasion we use the fact that Ferdinand Porsche was elected winner as prompt to make a brief assessment of his career and compare this with Colin Chapman of Lotus. This acts as feeder and shortly we will provide a dedicated illustrated article comparing and contrasting both of these exceptional engineer\/entrepreneurs.<\/p>\n
