From the Alfa Romeo to Porsche, these stylish machines influenced the careers of names like Gordon Murray, Ian Cameron, and Frank Heyl.
Ask any elite athlete or entertainer about how they were inspired early on, and you’ll likely hear another household name that impacted their trajectory to stardom. LeBron had Jordan, Bono had Bowie, and Streep cites De Niro. The same holds true in automotive design.
The Reason: “My dad got a ’32 Ford hot rod when I was about 10, and that’s when I really started following him around the garage and learning. The simplicity of the ’32 is what I admire most about it. It’s amazing to see how people modify it over the generations to make it their own unique creation—it’s almost like a blank canvas for an artist, while also maintaining one of the most iconic automotive shapes of all time. I also had my first design experience with that car.
The Reason: “The ’70 Modulo simply abandoned all possible automotive expectations whilst nonetheless still delivering a believable four-wheeled ‘vehicle’—even if undoubtedly morethan Ferrari. The sheer credibility that this singular gesture lent the Italian carrozzeria in an era of outstanding concepts is incalculable, and it represented a high-water mark never superseded.
The Reason: “The Porsche Boxster Concept has fascinated me since I was young and while I was studying at university aiming to become a designer. This Porsche continues to inspire me not only for its style but also for its being a symbol of the motivation of the team that was behind it, and it has captured the spirit of James Dean and the beginning of Porsche from the RS60 Spyder 2. Indeed, this model deeply influenced my sketches from that period.
