Wolfgang Egger, Audi's chief designer, is leaving the company according to a
Automotive News Europe, which cites a report from Germany's
Automobilwoche. Egger won't be going far, though, remaining within the
Volkswagen family and taking up head design position
Italdesign Giugiaro, a
VW subsidiary as of 2010.
Egger took over the position at
Audi from
Walter de Silva, and has been responsible most recently for the
Audi A6 and
A3, as well as the
2010 Quattro Concept and the
E-Tron Concept. He previously was head of design at
Lancia and then at
Alfa Romeo, where he was responsible for the achingly gorgeous
8C Competizione.
If Egger does move to Italdesign, his successor is likely to be Marc Lichte, the Volkswagen designer behind the
current Golf. Of course, these personnel changes haven't been officially confirmed, and Audi is thus far refusing to comment on either Egger or Lichte's possible career shifts. We'll stay with this one, so sit tight.
