Porsche's former head of factory motorsport Pascal Zurlinden has joined Multimatic as director of performance engineering for its special vehicle operations division.
The Thetford-based engineering firm, most famous for its work with Ford Performance, said Zurlinden’s “knowledge, expertise and experience will be an important asset” to the expanding division which specialises in high-performance vehicle development and runs Multimatic’s motorsport programmes. He will report to Multimatic vice president and industry stalwart Larry Holt.
Having joined Audi Sport in 2008, Zurlinden moved to Porsche in 2014, working as an engineer on its world-beating LMP1 programme, before taking the reins of the factory GT programme where he took Porsche to success in all of the blue riband GT races globally.
