Uwe Bahnsen

Uwe Bahnsen (1930 in Hamburg – 30 July 2013 in south-west France) was an accomplished German painter, sculptor and car designer, widely noted for his 28-year career at Ford Motor Company, where he designed the second-generation Mercury Capri (1973), the Ford Scorpio and notably, the highly aerodynamic and unconventional Ford Sierra.

After his career at Ford, Bahnsen became a teacher, served as a director at Switzerland's Art Center College of Design in Vevey and subsequently served as president of the International Council of Societies of Design. By the time of his death in 2013, Bahsen was recognized as one of the most influential European automotive designers of the 20th Century. Provided by Wikipedia
