Italdesign is an Italian automotive design firm founded in 1968 by Giorgetto Giugiaro and Aldo Mantovani.
The company has been responsible for the design of hundreds of concept and production cars.
Italdesign has opened a satellite office in Michigan and wants to assist American automakers in the development process.
Italdesign may technically be based near Turin in Italy, but with a new design center near Detroit, the legendary firm has global aspirations. A major step in this path appears to be a strong partnership with America's three biggest automakers.
In 2024, Italdesign opened a US office in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan. The goal with this satellite workplace is to forge stronger, deeper ties with American automakers. Speaking with Car and Driver recently, when asked why Italdesign wants to be near Detroit, CEO Fabrizio Mina said plainly: "Because of the 'Big Three.'"
