Video: Auto Design Night retrospectives

Since its introduction at the Geneva Motor Show in March this year, Auto Design Night has established itself as the event for professional designers to meet up and unwind after a hard day at the auto show. Hosted on the evening of the first press day, this informal gathering has already provided hundreds of designers with a stylish, informal venue in which to eat, drink and relax with their peers, as well as providing top-class entertainment and some surprise concept unveils.

Lifetime achievement awards have also been presented at Auto Design Nights in Geneva, London and Paris during 2008, honoring the invaluable contributions of Nissan's Shiro Nakamura, Ford's Martin Smith and Fiat's Lorenzo Ramaciotti respectively.

As you're no doubt aware, Car Design News takes pride in the written word. But we've been rapidly expanding our video content this year and are pleased to include coverage of these retrospectives - spanning the careers of the three designers - in video form.
