  • Luca De Meo Is Awarded Executive of the Year by Autorevista
    27th edition of the awards Luca de Meo is awarded Executive of the Year by AutoRevista / The President of SEAT, distinguished for “his leadership in the company’s latest achievements” / The publication has been giving this prize since 1991 to personalities with an outstanding career in the automotive sector Madrid, 24/11/2017. - SEAT President Luca de Meo has been distinguished as Executive of the Year in the Vehicle Manufacturer category by AutoRevista, the leading trade publication in information about the car industry in Spain. The prize was presented at the 27th edition of the AutoRevista Directors of the Year Awards, organised by the magazine in Madrid. This is a new recognition for Luca de Meo’s leadership in guiding SEAT following the prizes given by Automotive News Europe and Bocconi University for CEO and Alumnus of the Year, respectively. As highlighted by AutoRevista, awarding the prize to Luca de Meo responds to “a splendid moment, underpinned by the achievement of the best results in the history of SEAT. With Luca de Meo at the helm, Martorell has launched a new generation Ibiza, which is now joined by the Arona, while progress continues on accommodating the Audi A1, which will be arriving in 2018”. AutoRevista also underscored that “beyond the Iberian Peninsula, SEAT is leading the Volkswagen Group’s project in Algeria and will then see production of the largest vehicle in its range produced next year in Wolfsburg. Luca de Meo knows how to extract maximum value from SEAT both in terms of the product range and industrial aspects”.

  • Tilman Brodbeck Remembers
    www.porscheroadandrace.com Tilman Brodbeck remembers Published: 12th January 2018 By: Kieron Fennelly Online version: https://www.porscheroadandrace.com/tilman-brodbeck-remembers/ Tilman Brodbeck poses with a 1973 911 Carrera RS 2.7 Coupé (left) and a 911 Sport Classic (right) – 21 September 2009 To be able to write on your résumé that you worked for one of Porsche’s CEOs would be quite an achievement. Tilman Brodbeck can however do a little better than that, for in a 40- year career, he was assistant to no fewer than five successive Porsche presidents. But, as he tells us, he held other posts too. When he started at Zuffenhausen, the company was still ruled by Ferry Porsche, whose nephew and Technical Director Ferdinand Piëch, was literally snapping at his heels. www.porscheroadandrace.com Ferry Porsche www.porscheroadandrace.com Unlike many of his contemporaries who went to Stuttgart University to complete their education, Tilman Brodbeck went further afield, to Darmstadt 100 miles to the north, for his engineering studies: “I wanted to get away from home,” he smiles revealing the slightly nonconformist streak that runs through much of his thinking. His speciality at Darmstadt was in airflow techniques, a subject then very little developed. Tilman’s background meant that after he joined Porsche he was promoted to body project engineer. “One of my tasks was on the 924 (Porsche’s first front engined model) where getting sufficient cooling air to the engine was quite a challenge within the overall shape we wanted for the car.” Prior to this though and before even being assigned a title, Brodbeck had had to prove himself: he was handed the daunting responsibility of resolving the 911’s tendency to lift its front end at high speed.

  • The Weissach-Dossier Michael Mauer’S Style Is Making Its Mark on the Contours of Twenty-First-Century Porsches
    newsroom Scene and Passion Mar 28, 2016 The Weissach-Dossier Michael Mauer’s style is making its mark on the contours of twenty-first-century Porsches. Switzerland is the wellspring of his creativity. A conversation with the Head of the Style Porsche, surrounded by mountain peaks. This is a wondrous place. The sky is a deep blue, the sun skips across the reflection of the lake. Surrounded by the fjord-like craggy cliffs rising more than 1,000 meters skyward, this Swiss mountain lake imparts the essence of serenity. The area is familiar to winter-sports enthusiasts as a bottleneck en route from Zurich to Davos, Arosa, or the Engadine. Only a few travelers have discovered the treasures to be found in the shadow of the autobahn that winds its way along the azure lake on narrow avalanche protectors and through the tunnel: tranquil spots with small coves and even sandy beaches. More sensitive souls might consider the steep mountain massif to be rather oppressive. But this is where Michael Mauer, a passionate sportsman, has found his oasis of tranquility. “One designer may get his inspiration from art, another may go on city breaks and fly to London every Friday after work,” he explains over coffee on the top floor of his home in a former factory, complete with a view of the lake and the mountains. “I see how we’re constantly being bombarded with information, which is why we have to give our minds more and more time to process all of this information. Whenever I’m here on the weekend and go skiing, ride my bike, hike, or simply sit on the deck for a couple of hours without thinking about anything particularly lofty, my subconscious uses this time to sort out information from the week just gone by, to process it, and to find solutions.” Mauer views his profession as a dream come true As Porsche’s chief designer, Michael Mauer is in no danger of running out of complex design issues demanding solutions.

  • Press Release May 2, 2012 No
    Press release May 2, 2012 No. 57/12 Former Porsche chief designer dies aged 81 Anatole Lapine is dead Stuttgart. Dr. Ing. h.c. F. Porsche AG, Stuttgart, is mourning it’s chief designer of many years, Anatole Carl Lapine, who died on 29 April 2012 in Baden-Baden. Lapine headed up the Style Porsche design studio from 1969 to 1988. Michael Mauer, Porsche’s chief designer since 2004, paid homage to the deceased: “Anatole Lapine shaped Porsche sports car design over more than two decades. As a designer he didn’t follow fashion but was forever setting new trends with his concepts.” Anatole Lapine was born on 23 May 1930 in Riga, Latvia. After the war, Lapine served an apprenticeship as a motor mechanic with Daimler-Benz in Hamburg before attending the Hamburg Wagenbauschule. In 1951 he went to the USA where a year later he began work at General Motors in the advanced body engineering department. In 1965 Lapine returned to Germany and was put in charge of the Opel Research Center. On 15 April 1969 Lapine moved to Porsche as head of the styling department. In addition to the design of the Porsche 911 so-called “G Series” numerous new Porsche models such as the 924, 928 and 944 saw the light of day under Lapine’s direction. But Anatole Lapine and his style team also delivered a number of Porsche Engineering third-party client development design projects. GO Note: Images of Anatole Carl Lapine are available to accredited journalists from the Porsche press database at the following address: https://presse.porsche.de.

The business items which will be addressed at the annual meeting are set out in the notice of annual meeting and the accompanying proxy circular. We encourage you to vote your shares in person, or by phone, fax or internet, as described in the proxy circular. As in prior years, those not attending the annual meeting in person can access a simultaneous webcast through Magna’s website (www.magna.com). As you are aware, 2010 was a year of significant change for Magna. In August 2010, Magna completed the plan of arrangement and related transactions (the ‘‘Arrangement’’) announced in May 2010. The Arrangement, which was approved by over 75% of Magna’s disinterested shareholders, represented an historic milestone for Magna as it collapsed the dual-class share structure which had been in place since 1978. In conjunction with the Arrangement, the consulting, business development and business services agreements through which Frank Stronach has provided his knowledge and expertise to Magna and its divisions were amended to extend the expiry date of each agreement to December 31, 2014, after which they will automatically terminate.
