 Ferrari GG50 information, specifications, history, and images.
Giorgetto Giugiaro fashioned and commissioned a project that spilled into stretching horizons, in that he became concurrently – for the first time ever –supplier and customer of the new car.
Montezemolo also gave Giugiaro two inputs: although no restrictions would be posed on creative-thinking, the vehicle must be perfectly in keeping with the Ferrari tradition and transmit a sensation of compactness, even being highly enjoyable.
In the GG50, however, Giugiaro rounded to an extreme the loop between the cowl and the front wheelhouse, applying the same treatment to the rear.

 OLIVARI - Giorgetto Giugiaro
Giugiaro's appearance on the scene of car design represented a true revolution in the way of conceiving the design of vehicles.
Giugiaro proposed a new formula: to provide the car manufacturers with all the elements necessary for industrial production: models, prototypes, car bodies, times and methods of production, feasibility.
Giugiaro gradually extended his activity to other fields, until he in 1981 created Giugiaro Design, a company that designed all products except cars: cameras, telephones, calculators, entry phones, car radios, sewing machines; products that are apparently disrelated but are all characterized by the vital importance of an integral biotechnological approach.

Giorgio Giugiaro and Aldo Mantovani, on the other hand, have made an indelible mark on our automotive generation--first separately, then together as Italdesign, all in the 33 years since the company was born in 1968.
Giugiaro's story actually begins almost a decade before the founding of Italdesign, when the 17-year-old "Giorgetto" was discovered by the man who directed much of the giant Italian automaker FIAT's fate--Dante Giacosa.
Giugiaro himself says he was happy at Bertone, but Giacomo Gaspardo Moro of Ghia enticed him with a managerial position--director of the Styling and Design Center.

 OLIVARI - Giorgetto Giugiaro
L'apparizione di Giugiaro sulla scena del disegno dell'automobile rappresenta una vera e propria rivoluzione nel modo di concepire la progettazione di veicoli.
Con questa concezione nasce nel 1968 l'ltaldesign, con cui Giugiaro propone una formula inedita: fornire alle case costruttrici di veicoli tutti i supporti per l'industrializzazione: modelli, prototipi, carrozzeria, tempi e metodi di produzione, attrezzature, fattibilità.
Giugiaro estende progressivamente la sua attività di progetto ad altri campi, fino a creare nel 1981 la Giugiaro Design, che si occupa di tutti i prodotti diversi dall'automobile: macchine fotografiche, apparecchi telefonici, calcolatori, citofoni, auto radio, macchine per cucire, oggetti apparentemente disparati ma tutti accomunati dalla vitale importanza di un approccio ergonomico integrale.

 AlfaCentro: Feature Articles : Nuovo 156 and 156 Sportwagon
According to Giugiaro, "The reinterpretation of a winning model such as the Alfa 156 had to convey maximum determination and aggression to give it even greater appeal.
The tail-lights have thus been slightly reworked so that their lower part is emphasised by two slight side-whiskers and the upper part by a motif that frames the Alfa logo and emphasises the rear bonnet volume.
Giorgetto Giugiaro's changes respect distinctive brand features, emphasise the features of a winning model and confirm, once again, the profitable relationship that Alfa Romeo has enjoyed with the great master of his trade, who was voted 'Designer of the 'Century' by more than 120 international journalists at Las Vegas in 1999.

 Ferrari GG50 by Giorgetto Giugiaro - Classic Driver - MAGAZINE - car of the week
Happy Birthday to me! Giorgetto Giugiaro, the Old Master of Italian styling is presenting a special Ferrari at the Tokyo Motor Show to mark his 50 years of activity in the world of car design.
The idea to design a very personal Ferrari to celebrate this important anniversary came to Giugiaro for the first time at the Paris Motor Show in 2004 when he had discussions with President and CEO of Ferrari, Luca di Montezemolo.
From that moment it was decided to use the 612 Scaglietti as the basis for the concept, and Giugiaro received full technical blessing from Ferrari - as long as the design would be recognisable as a genuine Ferrari.
