Nissan is reshaping its Global Design Operations into five agile hubs that harness new technologies and creative energy to deliver faster, smarter, and more connected design solutions. Good-bye NDA and hello Studio Six.
Nakamura is currently responsible for global design strategy, and concept car and production vehicle design. Karim Habib, who until recently was the head of design for INFINITI, has left the company to pursue other opportunities.
David Woodhouse has a new home leading all Nissan and INFINITI design activities in North America. He will also serve on the company's Global Nissan Design Management Committee.
At the LA Auto Show one thing is certainly clear; the battle of EV and internal combustion engines is all but over. The battery-powered devils allow for a new paradigm in transportation.
INFINITI will unveil specially equipped versions of two of its most popular models — the 2019 INFINITI QX60 LIMITED and 2019 INFINITI QX80 LIMITED — at the New York International Auto Show.
The QX50 combines a confident stance with intelligent packaging, while deep character lines highlight the influence of human artistry in the design process.
Karim Habib has been named Head of INFINITI Design, effective July 1, 2017. Habib has an accomplished track record in Automotive Design for several premium automotive brands, including BMW and Daimler AG
