<\/a><\/p>\nGiorgetto Giugiaro has designed more big-selling cars than anybody else \u2013 and lots of niche models too. These are just some of the highlights<\/p>\n
He’s been called the most influential car designer of all time<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Giorgetto\u00a0Giugiaro entered his work into a student exhibition in\u00a01955<\/strong>, where it was spotted by\u00a0Fiat<\/strong>‘s technical director\u00a0Dante Giacosa<\/strong>; the rest as they say is history. Let’s see all the amazing designs <\/strong>he’s come up with over the past few decades; some are stand-out rare, and some are common; and you might even drive one of his cars yourself:\u00a0<\/p>\n Slideshow story – click right-hand arrow above to continue<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n This is where it all started; with a British car that\u2019s pretty much unknown thanks to just 100 <\/strong>examples having been built between 1964 and 1967.<\/p>\n Powered by a 5.4-litre <\/strong>Corvette V8, the Gordon Keeble featured a glassfibre bodyshell on a steel chassis. Virtually all of the cars built survive, thanks to an enthusiastic owners\u2019 club.<\/p>\n Six years <\/strong>after Ferrari first opened its doors for business it launched the 250<\/strong>, so named because each of the 3.0-litre <\/strong>V12’s cylinders displaced 250c.<\/p>\n There was a huge array of variations on the 250 theme but one of the most sought after is the 250GT SWB<\/strong>, so called because its wheelbase was shortened by 200mm to improve agility and cut weight. Created primarily as a racer, some road-going cars were also built.<\/p>\n The first BMW <\/strong>to feature the brand’s famous Hofmeister Kink<\/strong>, named after the company’s then head of design Wilhelm Hofmeister, it was actually Giugiaro who adopted the design feature on behalf of BMW, while he was working for Bertone<\/strong>.<\/p>\n He wasn’t the first to use it though as Lancia <\/strong>had used it several years before.<\/p>\n It’s hardly what you could call a looker but the intriguing Rivolta <\/strong>was one of the most capable GTs of the 1960s. Powered by a 5340cc <\/strong>Corvette V8, just like the Gordon Keeble, the Rivolta was designed by Giugiaro when he was working for the Bertone design studio – with which he would later be in competition.<\/p>\n You’d be hard-pressed to argue that the Aston Martin DB4 GT <\/strong>was in need of visual improvement but Bertone <\/strong>gave it a go, with Giugiaro getting the gig.<\/p>\n Incredibly, despite being a one-off the Jet was bodied in steel so it weighs more than the donor car – which wasn’t ideal considering it was created for the race track<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Enzo Ferrari <\/strong>toyed with the idea of creating a small sports car in the early 1960s and the ASA 1000 GT <\/strong>was the result.<\/p>\n Powered by a 1.0-litre <\/strong>four-cylinder engine that was effectively a third of a 3.0-litre Ferrari V12, the ASA’s chassis also borrowed design elements from the 250 GTO<\/strong>. But Ferrari decided to stick with his full-fat supercars and instead the project was made independently.<\/p>\n Giugiaro was still wearing his Bertone hat when he came up with this pretty little coup\u00e9 that came initially with a 944cc <\/strong>engine but was upgraded to a 1204cc <\/strong>unit in 1967.<\/p>\n While the early cars topped out at just 87mph<\/strong>, the later ones could get all the way to 105mph<\/strong>.<\/p>\n In 1962 Alfa Romeo <\/strong>launched its rather boxy 105-Series Giulia saloon <\/strong>and it was Giugiaro’s job to sex things up a bit with a two-door edition.<\/p>\n That arrived in 1963 in the form of the Giulia Sprint GT <\/strong>with a 1570cc <\/strong>all-alloy twin-cam engine. Later would come 1.3-<\/strong>, 1.8-<\/strong> and 2.0-litre <\/strong>engines, the latter two in the Sprint GTV, also penned by Giugiaro.<\/p>\n You can’t accuse Giugiaro of slacking when he was at Bertone – they certainly got their money’s worth.<\/p>\n Having launched with its first (kei) car in 1960, Mazda <\/strong>moved upmarket three years later with this small family saloon and estate with four-cylinder engines between 782cc <\/strong>and 987cc<\/strong>.<\/p>\n There’s been no shortage of European supercars and grand tourers over the years, built with the help of American motive power – and the Iso Grifo <\/strong>is one of the most enigmatic of the lot.<\/p>\n Powered by Chevrolet or Ford V8s, early Grifos got a 5.4-litre <\/strong>unit but from 1970 a mighty 7.5-litre <\/strong>unit was fitted, rated at 395bhp<\/strong>.<\/p>\n When Alfa Romeo <\/strong>wanted to build a low-volume TZ-based sports car in the 1960s it gave both Pininfarina <\/strong>and Bertone <\/strong>a TZ chassis and told them to come up with something; the Canguro was Bertone’s creation, penned by Giugiaro.<\/p>\n Powered by a 1.6-litre <\/strong>four-cylinder engine the car looked gorgeous but Alfa got cold feet and never put either proposal into production.<\/p>\n This stillborn sports car was the result of a collaboration between Innocenti <\/strong>and Ferrari<\/strong>. The plan was to build a compact 2+2 coup\u00e9 with a 1.8-litre <\/strong>V6 mounted in the nose and driving the rear wheels.<\/p>\n The car was developed and pretty much ready for production when everything went belly up, leaving just two cars made – one of which survives.<\/p>\n The Fiat 850 <\/strong>was one of the most popular small family cars in Italy during the second half of the 1960s, but most were saloons.<\/p>\n Some were coup\u00e9s while others were seven-seat <\/strong>people carriers (yes, really!) – and there was this, a neatly designed convertible officially designed by Bertone but actually styled by Giugiaro<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Throughout the 1960s Mazda continued its quest to move upmarket, with the Luce arriving in 1966. Initially available only with a 1.5-litre <\/strong>engine, by the end of 1968 there was also a 1.8-litre <\/strong>option.<\/p>\n Within a year there would also be a rotary-powered <\/strong>Luce – the only Wankel-powered Mazda to feature front-wheel drive.<\/p>\n Designed by Giugiaro when he was working for the Italian styling house Ghia <\/strong>(later bought by Ford), the Mangusta <\/strong>was the predecessor to the far more high-profile Pantera.<\/p>\n As with that later car the Mangusta featured a Ford V8 <\/strong>which provided a top speed of somewhere around 160mph<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Maserati has produced three different Ghiblis <\/strong>over the past half-century or so but this one is the original and by far the most beautiful.<\/p>\n Named after a hot, dry wind in the Libyan desert, the Ghibli was another car designed by Giugiaro when he was working for Ghia<\/strong>. In the nose was a 4.7-litre <\/strong>V8, later increased to 4.9 litres<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Whereas Pininfarina <\/strong>was responsible for designing the Fiat Dino Spider<\/strong>, the Dino coup\u00e9 was penned by Bertone <\/strong>– and specifically Giugiaro when he was an employee.<\/p>\n Powered by the same 2.0-litre <\/strong>(later 2.4-litre) V6 as the Ferrari Dino, the identically named Fiat has become hugely collectible in recent years.<\/p>\n Launched in the late 1960s, the Isuzu 117 <\/strong>survived right the way through to the early 1980s, albeit with a significant facelift in 1977.<\/p>\n Front-engined and rear-wheel drive, the 117 came with 1.6-<\/strong>, 1.8-<\/strong> or 2.0-litre <\/strong>petrol engines – or a 2.2-litre <\/strong>diesel.<\/p>\n Blending the characteristics of a spider and coup\u00e9 (hence SpiCup), this BMW 2500-based <\/strong>concept was first seen on the Bertone stand at the 1969 Geneva motor show.<\/p>\n Sold off then used as a daily driver, the Spicup <\/strong>languished in a barn for two decades before it was completely restored in 2011 and sold for \u20ac460,000<\/strong>.<\/p>\n One of the all-time landmark car designs, the original Esprit was made famous as a Bond <\/strong>car on two occasions; an S1 featured in The spy who loved me<\/em><\/strong> while in For your eyes only<\/em><\/strong> there was an Essex Esprit Turbo<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Always powered by four-cylinder engines, it wasn’t until 1996 that a V8 Esprit was available, almost a decade after the car had been redesigned by Peter Stevens<\/strong>.<\/p>\n A development of the V8-powered Maserati Bora <\/strong>that Giugiaro also designed, the Merak <\/strong>featured a mid-mounted V6 engine that displaced either 2.0 <\/strong>or 3.0 litres<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Competing with the Lamborghini Urraco <\/strong>and Ferrari 308GT4 <\/strong>(both of which arrived later), the Merak lasted right the way through until 1983, by which time almost 2000 <\/strong>examples had been made.<\/p>\n First shown at the Turin motor show <\/strong>in October 1974<\/strong>, by 1975 the Hyundai Pony <\/strong>was being made in quantity – it was Korea’s first mass-produced car.<\/p>\n It was also the first Korean car to be sold in the UK, although it wouldn’t arrive here until 1982. Power came from 1.2-<\/strong>, 1.4-<\/strong> or 1.6-litre <\/strong>petrol engines.<\/p>\n The Suzuki Cervo<\/strong>, also sold as the SC100 <\/strong>or Whizzkid<\/strong>, was such a neat design that elements of it were borrowed for the new Ignis <\/strong>that launched in 2016.<\/p>\n Created to comply with Japan’s kei car regulations, the Cervo came with engines ranging from 539cc <\/strong>to 970cc<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Universally pilloried and poorly made, the Zastava Yugo <\/strong>wasn’t a high spot in the history of the car but there’s no denying that it provided affordable transport for hundreds of thousands of people around the globe.<\/p>\n Sold across Europe and the US, the Yugo carried an array of monikers including the Koral<\/strong>, Ciao<\/strong>, Tempo <\/strong>and GV<\/strong>; by the time the final car was made after more than two decades, almost 800,000 <\/strong>had been built in hatchback and convertible forms.<\/p>\n In production for the thick end of two decades, the FSO Polonez <\/strong>grew out of a Fiat safety car project from 1970, although production didn’t start until 1978.<\/p>\n Poverty-spec models got a 1.3-litre <\/strong>petrol engine but power junkies could buy a 2.0-litre <\/strong>petrol engine, while there were also a couple of diesel engines offered.<\/p>\n It’s easy to forget that the Integrale <\/strong>was actually sired by a more prosaic hatch that has now largely disappeared. Winner of the 1980 European Car of the Year<\/strong>, the Delta later became available as the Saab 600 <\/strong>in a joint venture between Lancia and Saab; few were made and they\u2019re now even rarer than the Lancia-badged Delta.<\/p>\n While the first-generation Golf <\/strong>sold like hot cakes, in most markets buyers weren’t so keen on the Jetta <\/strong>thanks to its reduced practicality.<\/p>\n Effectively a booted Golf, the Jetta came with the same engine choices as its sibling which meant petrol engines from 1.1\u00a0<\/strong>to 1.8 litres <\/strong>and – unusually for the time – the option of a diesel engine as well.<\/p>\n The original Quattroporte <\/strong>was designed by Pietro Frua <\/strong>while Marcello Gandini <\/strong>penned the ultra-rare Quattroporte II<\/strong>. For the third iteration Giugiaro was asked to come up with something; this boxy saloon was the result.<\/p>\n Not one of his finest designs, all Quattroporte IIIs had a V8 engine; production lasted from 1979 <\/strong>until 1990<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Created in the same mould as the Citroen 2CV<\/strong>, the Fiat Panda <\/strong>was a no-frills economy car that was offered with the 652cc <\/strong>air-cooled two-cylinder engine taken from the Fiat 126<\/strong>.<\/p>\n More popular though was the 903cc <\/strong>water-cooled four-pot. These early Pandas have become very collectible, especially in 4×4 <\/strong>form – they’re capable of tackling astonishingly tough terrain.<\/p>\n With almost nine million <\/strong>examples made over more than two decades, the Uno is one of the biggest-selling cars ever created. Launched by Fiat in 1983, the Uno <\/strong>was also made in North and South Africa, South America and Asia, with a huge array of different petrol and diesel engines fitted.<\/p>\n Now largely forgotten, the Lancia Thema <\/strong>was the original Type 4 car, alongside the Saab 9000<\/strong>, Alfa Romeo 164 <\/strong>and Fiat Croma<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Of the four cars in the project, only one wasn’t designed by Giugiaro; the Alfa Romeo was penned by Pininfarina <\/strong>which also came up with a design for the Thema estate. Most Themas were nice enough if not especially interesting – until the 8.32 <\/strong>arrived with a 3.0-litre <\/strong>V8.<\/p>\n For Saab’s most luxurious car yet, Giugiaro teamed up with the Swedish company’s Bjorn Unvall <\/strong>to create a rather neat saloon and hatchback – but there wouldn’t be an estate version.<\/p>\n Although the 9000 <\/strong>was supposed to share many of its parts with the other Type 4 cars, in reality virtually nothing was interchangeable thanks to Saab wanting its car to achieve much higher safety standards than its partners\u2019.<\/p>\n SEAT built its first car in 1953 but it wouldn’t be until 1984 that it produced its own model; until now they were all Fiat <\/strong>cast offs.<\/p>\n The Ibiza <\/strong>marked the start of a new chapter for SEAT with its Porsche-fettled <\/strong>engine (on some models) and an ultra-modern five-door hatchback design.<\/p>\n Pretty much forgotten now, and laregly extinct, the Croma was Fiat’s part in the Type 4 <\/strong>project.<\/p>\n Fiat’s first large car to feature front-wheel drive and a transversely mounted engine, the Croma came with petrol or diesel power including – in the case of the former – V6 <\/strong>and turbocharged four-cylinder units giving up to 158bhp<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Here’s a blast from the past, and one that’s now pretty much disappeared altogether. Taking over where the Renault 9 <\/strong>and 11 <\/strong>left off, the 19 came in hatchback or convertible forms while saloon fans could buy the Chamade<\/strong>.<\/p>\n The latter is now especially rare, with less than a couple of dozen still in use on UK roads; there are fewer than 300 <\/strong>Renault 19s of all types still in use.<\/p>\n One of the more left-field <\/strong>concepts, the Aztec <\/strong>went into limited production although just a handful were made. With no weather protection and separate cockpits for the driver and passenger, the Aztec was powered by a turbocharged five-cylinder Audi engine although bizarrely, the four-wheel drive transmission was taken from the Lancia Integrale<\/strong>.<\/p>\n As with so many family cars of the early 1990s, the Seat Toledo <\/strong>wasn’t exactly a high point in car design, but it was inoffensive enough.<\/p>\n On sale throughout the 1990s, this original Toledo was based on the Golf Mk2 <\/strong>which meant a choice of 1.6-<\/strong>, 1.8-\u00a0<\/strong>or 2.0-litre <\/strong>petrol engines or there was a 1.9 <\/strong>diesel.<\/p>\n When Lexus <\/strong>came up with an executive car to take on the established premium brands, Giugiaro decided that a simplified design was the key, and that’s exactly what he came up with.<\/p>\n Sold as the Toyota Aristo <\/strong>in its home market, the original Lexus GS <\/strong>came only with six- or eight-cylinder engines and four- or five-speed automatic transmissions.<\/p>\n The Cordoba <\/strong>has never been a big success for Seat in the UK, but it’s sold better in European countries where small saloons are more popular.<\/p>\n Sharing the same platform as the Polo <\/strong>and Ibiza<\/strong>, buyers could choose between coup\u00e9, saloon and estate variations on the theme.<\/p>\n Throughout the 1970s and 1980s Lamborghini <\/strong>offered junior supercars with V8 power; the Urraco<\/strong>, Silhouette <\/strong>and Jalpa<\/strong>.<\/p>\n By the 1990s it was V12 power all the way, but it could have been different as the fully driveable V10-engined Cala was unveiled in 1995. But the funds weren\u2019t there to develop the car and the project was shelved.<\/p>\n For a while VW seriously considered putting this W12-powered mid-engined supercar into production, but with the Veyron <\/strong>and various Lamborghinis to develop, plus the Audi R8<\/strong>, it didn’t happen.<\/p>\n First came a 414bhp <\/strong>coup\u00e9 followed by a roadster version of the same car. Then in 2001 came the most extreme W12 yet: a 591bhp <\/strong>Nardo edition which claimed an array of speed records, including covering
