Giorgetto Giugiaro was presented with the Lifetime Achievement Award, for his seven decades as one of the most influential automotive designers of all time, picked by a jury of the most important figures in historic motoring. The jury acknowledged that Giugiaro was responsible not just for many of the most iconic cars of the last 70 years but also for motorcycles, watches, furniture, cameras, and even pasta and a cathedral organ. His best known car designs include the original VW Golf and Fiat Panda, the Maserati Ghibli and the Lotus Esprit. At the awards, he was reunited with the one-off Aston Martin DB4 GT Jet, which he said he last saw when it was unveiled at the Geneva Motor Show in 1961.
