Definitely one of the most influential automotive design figures in the 1990's. May he rest in peace.

Fuck yes. That bit he does about scooters is hilarious.

Damn, that's quite a notable figure in the car world, I'm sure most of the motoring community is pretty bummed, not to mention, the Italians.
