Giovanni Savonuzzi (Ferrara 28 January 1911 –– Ferrara 18 February 1988) was an Italian automobile designer. Savonuzzi received a degree in Mechanical engineering from Politecnico di Torino in 1939 and worked for Fiat Aviazione and taught in Aeronautics at the politecnico. During World War II he served in Albania. In August 1945[1] he succeeded Dante Giacosa as technical director of the Cisitalia carmaker, first completing Giacosa's Cisitalia D46 cigarshaped racing car. Before he left for in 1948 due to a disagreement, he had sketched out the Spider Nuvolari and the 202 CMM Aerodinamica Savonuzzi (to be built by Pininfarina).[2] He designed the SVA Midget racer while with Società Valdostano Automotori (SVA) 1948–49, lectured at politecnico and had some freelance work, including for Cisitalia in 1951 under Carlo Dusio, leading to a short collaboration with Ford led to his chassis design for the 808X prototype. As the technical director for Carrozzeria Ghia under Luigi Segre from 1953 to 1957, Savonuzzi developed the "Supersonic" series inspired by gas turbines (as a result of his access to wind tunnels at the politecnico). He applied this to Fiat 8V (14 chassises), Alfa Romeo 1900, DeSoto Adventurer II, the Ghia "Gilda" (named after Rita Hayworth),[1] Jaguar XK120 (three chassises), Aston Martin DB2/4, a Ferrari 410 Gilda Superamerica.[3] From 1957 to 1969 Savonuzzi worked under research director George J. Huebner (1910–96) for the turbine department of Chrysler in Detroit, being chief engineer for automotive research from 1962.[4] The resulting Chrysler Turbine Car 1962–64 were not designed by Savonuzzi, but bodied by Carrozzeria Ghia. He also studied crash-proof cars.[5] Following some time as Director of R&D under Gianni Agnelli at Fiat, he devoted himself to teaching at the politecnico until retirement in 1977.[6] References1. ^1 Windstone Woodfeller, Ghia's Gilda: Siren Song for An Era in Motortrend on January 24, 2013. 2. ^{{Cite web|url=http://www.velocetoday.com/savonuzzi-the-designer-part-1/|author=Pete Vack|title=Savonuzzi the Designer Part 1|website=www.velocetoday.com|access-date=2016-11-10}} 3. ^{{Cite web|url=http://www.velocetoday.com/the-cars-of-giovanni-savonuzzi/|author=Pete Vack|title=The Cars of Giovanni Savonuzzi|website=www.velocetoday.com|access-date=2016-11-10}} 4. ^{{Cite web|url=http://www.velocetoday.com/savonuzzis-detroit/|title=Giovanni Savonuzzi’s Detroit Odyssey|website=www.velocetoday.com|access-date=2016-11-10}} 5. ^{{Cite web|url=http://www.velocetoday.com/savonuzzis-detroit-3/|title=Giovanni Savonuzzi’s Detroit Odyssey Part 3|website=www.velocetoday.com|access-date=2016-11-10}} 6. ^{{Cite web|url=http://www.velocetoday.com/savonuzzi-the-designer-part-ii-from-ghia-to-fiat/|author=Pete Vack|title=Savonuzzi, the Designer, Part II: From Ghia To Fiat|website=www.velocetoday.com|access-date=2016-11-10}} 8 : Italian automobile designers|Cisitalia people|Ghia people|Chrysler people|Fiat people|People from Ferrara|1911 births|1988 deaths |
