Art Center Weekend - INSPIRED DESIGN - Car Classic 2012
“The Cord 812 was a game changer — the boldest, most futuristic, style driven car in its era. The design principles of this vehicle could be applied today and have similar results.” –Dave O’Connell (’80) “The simplicity of the wedge form treatment makes the Lancia Stratos look fresh even after a few decades.” –Lucian Rosca (’89) “The 1980 Audi 100 (called the 5000 in the US) was the first true aero sedan with flush glass — the design that proved aero could be beautiful.” –Dave O’Connell (’80) “The 1955-75 Citroen DS was a car ahead of its time in both design and engineering, made when being audacious was part of the DRP and focus groups were not.” –Lucian Rosca (’89) “The 1965 Porsche 911 continues as the sports car reference standard after nearly 50 years. Butzi Porsche’s Icon.” –Steve Anderson (’91) “To me there wasn’t another car that was as pure, clean, confident, and all around just perfect than the first generation BMW E30 M3 produced from 1985-1992. It wasn’t ‘styled’ but felt just right — upright, perfectly proportioned, compact and agile.” –Robert Bauer (’94) “The 1973 Ferrari BB512, classical Italian design at its best, represents the end of an era, then came the ‘exuberant’ 1980’s Testarossa.” –Miguel Galluzzi (’86) “The 1978 Citroen CX had provocative design that broke so many rules yet still looks modern today.” –Dave O’Connell (’80) “I believe the Ford GT 40 could be a case study for what timeless design means.” –Lucian Rosca (’89) “With the 1982 Audi 100 (U.S. 5000), Audi schooled the world on modernism, aerodynamics and technical elegance. The 100 showed that an aesthetic of reason and science, devoid of hyperbole, could be utterly beautiful.” –Steve Anderson (’91) “My first ‘encounter’ with an Alfa (my father’s car) was the 1954 Alfa Romeo Giulietta Sprint back in 1965. Black on black, my mind remembers the noice, the smells, the sounds ... too much to handle at a young age.” –Miguel Galluzzi (’86)
