2005-12-08 09:03 CET Walter de´Silva blir Lamborghinis nye designchef Från och med 1 december har Walter Maria de´Silva (55), chef för Design Audi Brand Group, tagit över ansvaret för Lamborghini Design. Han fortsätter samtidigt parallellt sitt uppdrag som designchef för Audi Brand Group, som består av Audi, SEAT och Lamborghini. I denna roll har han utvecklat de riktlinjer ur vilka de senaste Lamborghini-, Audi och SEAT-modellerna har sitt ursprung. Det är fantastiskt att en sådan mångsidig och prisbelönt italiensk bildesigner nu personligen kommer att hålla i pennan när framtidens Lamborghini-modeller skapas, säger Stephan Winkelmann, koncernchef för Automobili Lamborghini. Walter de´Silva själv är också nöjd med sitt nya uppdrag: Att få vara med om att ta fram ett så formidabelt fordon är en dröm. Lamborghini som bil är för övrigt också en dröm. Luc Donckerwolke, tidigare chef för Lamborghini Design, har flyttat till SEAT för att bli ny designchef och för att förstärka Nueva SEAT-satsningen på designområdet. Med offentliggörandet av Gallardo Spyder på Frankfurt Motor Show i september blev Lamborghinis nuvarande fyrmodellsprogram fullständigt. Luc Donckerwolke har varit ansvarig för designen av samtliga fyra modeller.

Pininfarina Extra
LUISS TEACHING CASES Brand Development through Brand Extension and Licensing: Pininfarina Extra Marco Francesco Mazzù Luiss Guido Carli In collaboration with Pininfarina Management TEACHING CASES 2020 ISBN 978-88-6105-533-9 Introduction Year 2012 started as a key defining moment for Pininfarina Group and its future. In the eyes of the management team, the last five years have been full of hitches. A lot of personal energies have been dedicated to guide the organization through a set of diverse and serious challenges: years between 2007 and 2011 were characterized by the Global crisis of the Automotive sector, main historical focus of the group; some investments in partnership with major OEM did not reach the expected pay-off; the group has been forced to rethink its historical focus of activities, and, even more important, the dramatic death of Andrea in 2008, CEO of the Group at that time, forced an unexpected and unplanned change in leadership an internal governance, including the entrance of the first external members to Pininfarina’s family in top management position. Despite con- tinuing to succeed with its image in the market, as testified by winning several international “best designer” awards1, a strong bank intervention has been needed to guarantee company con- tinuity, and sales were not coping up with the expected level to support future growth. In addition, some of the core activities have been divested. It has been clear to the management, that the historical company focus, and the Automotive mar- ket was not anymore enough to support a healthy outlook. Something more should also be done to develop other “internal jewels” of the company as Pininfarina Extra (PFE), founded in 1986, and focused on bringing the company’s design culture and comprehension of modern life, culture and social paradigms to other categories of industrial design.
