Hyundai's vehicle lineup now has the addition of ex-Bugatti designer Alexander 'Sasha' Selipanov to invigorate their luxury model lines, reports TorqueNews.com.
The now ex Volkswagen Group designer Sasha Selipanov helped with the design of the Bugatti Vision Gran Turismo concept and the Bugatti Chiron after winning an internal competition at the VW group. The Chiron having most of its design cues come from Selipanov.
With this level of high design achievement, you would think Mr. Selipanov would head off to another supercar division to get out some wild designs, but this was not the case as the Hyundai Genesis seems to be the next line of vehicles on his portfolio.
A graduate in 2005 from the Art College of Design in California, he then relocated to Germany after being hired by Volkswagen. In 2010 he joined Lamborghini helping out with the Huracan and then on to being Head of Exterior Design with Bugatti working on the Chiron. Not too shabby a career path up to now.....
