That's kind of right. Butzi did the basic design for the 911... but it incorporated a rear-like 356 look to the car. Ferry wasn't so please with it... so they did a sweeping back roof design - that ended up being what we now call the 911. The 2nd design was more of a 2+2 911... with a long wheel base and really long triangular rear quarter glass windows. That design was ditched for the class 911 shape - that went into production.
Butzi later penned the 904 and the 914, before leaving the car company(side) and switching over to Porsche Design.
