Sasha Selipanov (Designer for Lamborghini, Bugatti, Koenigsegg!)

The Smoking Tire

What a show! Our guest is automotive designer Sasha Selipanov. He has the job many of us dreamed of us as kids: supercar designer. He penned the Lamborghini Huracan, Bugatti Chiron, Koenigsegg's Gemera and CC850, and the Genesis concept. Strong resume.

We learn about how Sasha got started; the unexpected company that helped with his Ferrari project at school; lessons from his first job at VW; making the leap to Lamborghini, Bugatti, and Koenigsegg; the constraints of working for a big OEM; what it's like to work with Christian von Koenigsegg; his wild first experience driving a fast car; and why he hates cladding.
