This man alone is responsible for designing over 100 automobiles. Including one of my all time favorites. The Volkswagen MK 1 Golf also known as the Rabbit to the United States. Giugiaro is also responsible for designing the Delorean for DMC. This automobile featured gull wing style doors, a completely stainless steel body & made a cameo in the film Back to The Future.

These photos depict German manufacturing of American specification Rabbits circa 1975-76.
