Car Design News (CDN) is the leading online resource for the professional automotive design community, for teachers and students at transport/auto design colleges worldwide, and for non-auto designers seeking insights into the world of car design.
Coverage includes design development analysis, design reviews, exclusive interviews, news of the latest designs and the people behind them, and CDN Live reports from the world's leading motor shows. The site hosts a huge selection of personal portfolios from professionals & students, and learning aids inc webinars on the techniques and tools used in automotive design.
CDN extends into print and events with: - Interior Motives magazine, detailed development of interiors from inspiration to production; - student competitions, inc one within China, used by OEMs to recruit the next generation of talent; - conferences inc an annual event in China; - Car Design Night receptions held at leading motor shows.
The tool is called FelGAN and has been used specifically for wheel designs. From Audi: "The name “FelGAN” is a mash-up of the German word for “rim” (Felge) and “GAN”, the latter being an acronym for Generative Adversarial Networks. GANs are a special form of self-learning computer program in which two algorithms compete as opponents during the so-called training, becoming better and better in competition with each other."
A reliable four-wheeled car that drives on the ground cannot be produced by technology. And yet, people will supposedly commute with a flying car. Well, good luck to everyone!

He certainly had a fondness for long, low, sweeping designs in his automobiles. In the video, there featured is a silver sleek, wagon-like vehicle which very well should have been the Pontiac Aztec. Toyota produced another such concept just before 1980, with better aesthetics and a camping conversion in its cargo area.
Wholesomely cohesive. Modern lines, elegant yet commodious as well as athletic. What a modern mini MPV ought to be. Hope it makes it to production with minimal alterations. Callum should design the next BMW 2 series active tourer.
I would not have been interested in cars if not for Gandini's designs. I always thought maybe some day I could talk to him about designs and cars and art, but now it would never happen. Perhaps heaven summons him for wedge shaped raceabouts that can carry angels around... RIP Mr. Gandini. Good night.
I enjoyed listening to everybody's options about what they would like to experience in the future... I am more interested in the present and on the past, when they created wonderful vehicle-machines... Furthermore, I want to see them today-modified of course but keeping that retro-style. Referencing the fifth-element-movie! ⬅⬆↗➡↘⬇↙
I would invest in some microphones - the audio quality is always poor here. It’s not like you don’t charge people a substantial amount of money for literal articles !
Thank you for sharing this video. For upcoming designers like me it helps us a lot to understand, what truly happens behind the scenes in the industry.
I like the forum approach but wish the interviewer had been more forceful and asked these reps: “But why is the speed of electronics developments your problem?? Why are you taking it on? Take that shit out of the car…”
I have a hard time seeing this in a constructive angle. He knew saab had just broken free from a drab ownership of gm and was trying to stand out as it's own brand on a fragile peg. But he's kind of shitting on the process. If this is out of competitive spirit, it's shitty. Saab was nowhere near being threatening at this time. But if he's speaking as an experienced designer to a younger designer, he's just being shitty and condescending.
This is probably the worst technical quality of any rendered movie I have seen since 2003. I wouldn't even know how they got there, the viewport of any modern 3d app looks better.
This guy really doesn’t know what he’s talking about… honestly after he came to Citroen, the design of the cars became generic, boring and looking like a non creative toy… it’s a shame for Citroen
Great question and answer! We are facing this environment. I think it is not so odd, and we accept new value and freshness without 100 percent away from tradition and legacy. Thank CDN for the interview session.
