Designer Peter Birtwhistle has released a new book in which he describes his work at GM, Audi, Porsche and Mazda
He has helped to shape some of the world’s most iconic brands, was involved in the creation of a stillborn ultra-luxury brand, and came across titans of the industry: Peter Birtwhistle is telling the story of his life in a freshly released book with the unpretentious title: “An English Car Designer Abroad.”
While Patrick Le Quément’s thought-provoking “Design Between the Lines” takes a somewhat aloof perspective and discusses many aspects beyond the automotive world, Birtwhistle’s opus magnum offers a decidedly personal glimpse into the automotive design world of the last half-century.
