The man behind the original BMW 5 Series, Renault 5 Turbo, Citroen BX and more passed away in Italy today
Car design icon, Marcello Gandini, passed away today at the age of 85, in Turin, Italy, according to reports from his home country. The cause of his sudden death has not yet been publicized. Born in 1938, the son of an orchestra conductor, Gandini joined Bertone in 1965, after the departure of its design chief, Giorgietto Giugiaro.
Gandini penned many of the most famous Italian sports cars of the century, including the Lamborghini Countach, the DeTomaso Pantera, and the Ferrari 308/GT4—the first and last Ferrari designed by Bertone to make it into production. Later, he designed the Lamborghini Diablo, the Maserati BiTurbo, and others. Gandini was also behind some of the most impressive concept cars of his era, including the Alfa Romeo 33 Carabo, the Lancia Stratos Zero, and more.
