Yahoo Autos Legendary car designer weighs in on Tesla’s controversial Cybertruck: ‘It certainly has its admirers’
Designer Giorgetto Giugiaro is responsible for some of the most iconic car designs in automotive history — and he’s weighed in on Tesla’s Cybertruck.
The Cybertruck’s boxy, angular design has become divisive, inspiring passion from some Tesla fans and hatred from more skeptical observers.
Giugiaro, who was named the Car Designer of the Century in 1999 and created the look of the DMC DeLorean and the Volkswagen Golf/Rabbit, encourages the public to approach the Cybertruck with an open mind.
“When you step outside the norms, it’s almost always seen as a provocation,” Giugiaro said to NPR. “It happens in all fields, from furniture to cooking, etc. Everyone wants to distinguish themselves; it’s a market necessity, and the Cybertruck will surely be successful, I’m sure of it. I’m convinced it will find its admirers.”
As the Cybertruck finally hits streets around the United States, videos of the electric truck have gone viral, showing off its interior, its offroading capacity, and its acceleration capabilities.
