If you remember what Peter Schreyer did for Kia several years ago - he’s the bold Bavarian former Audi designer responsible for the TT, whom Kia poached in 2006 to right the ship stylistically.
Most people in the game know of Peter Schreyer. He’s a bit of a design legend.
Look at it like this. Graeme Gambold is the dude who makes those Kia vehicles drive in line with the way they look now - in Australia. And that’s no small achievement in my book.
If you own a Stinger or a Cerato GT and you’ve tipped it in hard once or twice - and enjoyed doing it - you’ve got G-squared to thank for that. He’s forgotten more than you and I will ever know about vehicle dynamics, and it’s a deadset pleasure to have him in the Fat Cave today.
I can’t think of a better first in-Cave studio guest.
