Influence on design
Giugaro's earliest cars featured tautly arched shapes, such as the Ferrari 250 Berlinetta Bertone, De Tomaso Mangusta, Iso Grifo, and Maserati Ghibli. However, as the 1970s approached, Giugiaro's designs became increasingly angular, culminating in the "folded paper" era of the 1970s. Straight-lined designs such as the BMW M1, Maserati Bora, and Maserati Merak followed before a softer approach returned in the Calà, Maserati Spyder, and Ferrari GG50. Perhaps most famous of all his designs was the DeLorean DMC-12, made famous originally because of John DeLorean's arrest, but mostly due to Hollywood blockbuster series Back to the Future (franchise).
