The move comes almost a year after Chery hired James Hope (http://www.cardesignnews.com/site/designers/whos_where/display/store4/item255059/) from the General Motors (http://www.autoblog.com/tag/general+motors/) Exterior Design Studio in Russelsheim, Germany to be its corporate director of design.
Saracoglu had been with Porsche since 1998, and he showed his abilities on the 997-series Porsche 911 GT2 (http://www.autoblog.com/tag/911+gt2/) and GT2 RS (http://www.autoblog.com/tag/911+gt2+rs/), previous-generation Boxster (http://www.autoblog.com/porsche/boxster/) and Cayman (http://www.autoblog.com/porsche/cayman/) and the 918 Spyder (http://www.autoblog.com/tag/918+spyder/). He will join Hope's team with the aim of taking Chery beyond the car it is most known for, the QQ, to a company "standing for value, for design and gaining customer confidence. That's where we want to go." Saracoglu will lead a group of 30 designers to create a range of concepts in various segments.Chery hires Porsche's Saracoglu as new head of design studio in Shanghai (http://www.autoblog.com/2013/02/27/chery-hires-porsches-saracoglu-as-new-head-of-design-studio-in/) originally appeared on Autoblog (http://www.autoblog.com) on Wed, 27 Feb 2013 09:31:00 EST.
