Mercedes-Benz to Get New Design Chief
Written By: Seyth Miersma
Mercedes-Benz has announced that it will soon be making a change at the top end of its design team, replacing current head man Peter Pfeiffer (pictured) when he enters retirement sometime around the middle of this year.
Pfeiffer will be followed up by Gordon Wagener, who currently runs the Mercedes design studios in California and Japan. The 39-year-old Wagener is also presently responsible for Mercedes’ strategic advanced design program.
Set to turn 65 this year, Pfeiffer has worked at Mercedes-Benz since 1968, and has served as design chief for the company since 1999.
