The Most Powerful Automotive People in the world

GTO · 15th January 2005, 15:18

Did you know that the man who once engineered the Porsche 911 (Ulrich Bez) is now working day and night to design a car that will beat it?

And that VW Chairman ( Bernd Pischetsrieder ) owns a Ferrari Enzo, and crashed a Mclaren F1 during his BMW days?

That Wendelin Wiedeking is the man who got Porsche back to profitability. He is an ex-Toyota graduate!

That in Non-F1 America, Luca Montezemolo and Michael Schumacher are the no.10 and no.11, respectively, on the most powerful list?

Or that Carlos Ghosn and Fords Vice President - Design (J Mays) have only one sports car in their garage : The Porsche 911?

That Burkhard Goeschel ( BMW AG management board member in charge of development and purchasing ) must be hated as much as Chris Bangle for the "Bangled" BMWs?

Read on this and more at Motor Trend - The Power List.

Highly Recommended read for car guys...
