Just finished the whole thing. Worth watching if you are a Porsche/GT aficionado.

will have a listen tomorrow. Him, Walliser, and Tadge Juechter are some of the more interesting car guys as of late.

So a stupid question; since Andreas is the Director of the GT products; does the GTS range from the boxter to the 911 and everything in between fall under his purview? Also did the Turbo GT get built under him??

Definitely not GTS models. Only as far as I know the GT[number] models: GT4, GT4 RS, GT3, GT3 RS, GT2 RS. As I understand - no sedans and SUVs fall under his portfolio but I can't speak for Cayenne Coupe Turbo GT.
Of course there are other specials which would have been created under his watch such as the 911 R and 918 Spyder* as well as the track-prepped race cars.

* I may be wrong about 918 Spyder. Although it's a Weissach-developed vehicle (a prerequisite for a GT[n] car) it's possible that it was developed under a different project lead.
@Sunny and @Porsche Guy - would know more than me.

Like Martin said, GTS cars are not developed by the GT division. The 981 Spyder was also not developed by the GT division either, but the 718 Spyder is. Turbo GT - I don't think so either, given there is no video of AP proudly presenting it like he does with his other wares.

I was surprised to learn 997GT2 was not under him either (though the 997 GT2 RS was).

918 Spyder

I think 918 Spyder was led by Frank Walliser (who is now AP's boss I think).

Ah, crap, of course. How could I have missed this one. ?‍

I think A.P. sticks with the sports cars only (911, Boxster, Cayman) and not the SUVs.
