Bugatti Veyron Designer Jozef Kaban Moves to MG

Almost 100 years ago MG started life as a British sports car maker, and through its many owners, has made some very sexy looking machines. Continuing that theme, Bugatti Veyron designer Jozef Kaban becomes MG’s Vice President of Global Design.

MG Motor Australia’s Chief Executive Office, Peter Ciao said this comes at a pivotal time for MG, as the company celebrates its centenary.

“I have followed Jozef Kaban closely within the industry and we’re very happy to have him join MG as we get ready for the launch of the Cyberster EV roadster later this year.

“MG will unveil its latest concept car, the EXE181, at the Beijing motor show this week. This new concept draws inspiration from the EX181 land speed record breaker of 1957 which had Sir Stirling Moss behind the wheel, signalling MG’s ongoing commitment to innovation and performance,” Mr Ciao said.

Kaban graduated the Royal Academy of Art in London before going on to work for Europe’s prestige badges.

Although MG is now Chinese-owned, and the cars are now produced in China, the thoroughly British history dates back to 1924, and Cecil Kimber’s MG 14/28 Super Sports car. From those early historic cars, MG has set its sights on becoming world famous for electric cars such as its MG4 and ZS EV.

Mr Ciao said the brand’s current focus is on “electric for everyone”, exemplified by its dedication to quality, as evidenced by the generous 7-year unlimited kilometre manufacturer’s warranty and fixed price servicing.

“In a market where customers are becoming increasingly aware of their finances, providing transparency on the final cost customers will pay for buying an EV and for servicing is very important, that’s why MG has made the move to offer both to customers with no hidden costs,” he said.

“Customers like choices. We want them to be empowered to have the freedom to drive a SUV or a hatch, which is why we are offering both the MG4 51kWh Excite and ZS EV Excite at under $40k drive away. Whenever we are able to pass price reductions like this onto our customers, we will make sure we do”
