“Our advanced design team’s mandate extends well beyond creating production vehicles,” said Michael Simcoe, senior VP of global design. “While they collaborate within our global design network on production and concept vehicle programs, these teams are primarily tasked with imagining what mobility could look like five, 10, and even 20 years into the future and driving innovation for GM.”

The UK design studio is part of GM’s global design network. It is supposed to provide insights into European customer and cultural trends while introducing new talent and fresh perspectives into GM. GM’s global design studios exist in Detroit, Los Angeles, Shanghai, and Seoul.
