Summary

What a show! Our guest is automotive designer Sasha Selipanov. He has the job many of us dreamed of us as kids: supercar designer. He penned the Lamborghini Huracan, Bugatti Chiron, Koenigsegg's Gemera and CC850, and the Genesis concept. Strong resume. We learn about how Sasha got started; the unexpected company that helped with his Ferrari project at school; lessons from his first job at VW; making the leap to Lamborghini, Bugatti, and Koenigsegg; the constraints of working for a big OEM; what it's like to work with Christian von Koenigsegg; his wild first experience driving a fast car; and why he hates cladding. https://www.instagram.com/sashaselipanov/?hl=en Recorded May 19, 2023 Invite the whole crew over and watch NASCAR honor those who have fought and continue to fight for our freedoms by tuning in to the Coca-Cola 600 on Sunday, May 28th at 6:00 PM Eastern on FOX.
