“Car Styling Returns – A New Era of Automotive Design Begins!”
Our generation’s bible, Car Styling, is making a comeback after six years since the second-generation edition ceased publication in 2019. In its original format, this marks the first reissue in 15 years since the first-generation edition ended in 2010. Of course, it will be released as a bilingual edition in both Japanese and English.
With the advent of BEVs and the ongoing journey toward autonomous driving, the automotive industry is at a turning point. Automakers are exploring their future paths, and now, more than ever, this is said to be the era of design. The reborn Car Styling will take a design-focused approach to cars, reevaluating the act of design, analyzing its principles, and dissecting styling itself.
In its inaugural issue, Vol.1, the heads of the design departments from five major Japanese automakers deliver messages to a global audience, providing an in-depth explanation of how each company approaches design as a core element of their brand message.
With over 40 years of experience as a car designer, the editor-in-chief has a deep understanding of the traditional car-making processes and the challenges of development that have been repeated within automakers. The issues and changes he identifies, as well as the insights he draws, may serve as a glimpse into the vision for the future.
Car Styling aims to become a bible for the next 50 years, bridging the knowledge and passion of the current generation to the next.
Coming March 31—Stay tuned.
