Klie ran Porsche’s modelling studio and was one of F. A. Porsche’s key lieutenants, best known for authoring the production 914’s shape after an internal design competition. His hands-on clay and model work underpinned several 1950s–60s Porsche racers.
Notable cross-make designs: Porsche 914 (winning in-house design); clay/model work on the 550 Spyder, Type 804 F1 and the 904/906 racers
