Excerpt: “…Daniel Simon, in his first life a qualified automotive designer and who has lived for many years in L.A., is functioning as tour guide from the passenger seat. At the start of his career, he work initially and completely officially for the Volkswagen brand, before moving to Barcelona to create concepts for all the Volkswagen Group brands at the Design Center Europe. The highlight followed shortly thereafter – Bugatti. But the zenith was also a closing chapter. Simon had reached the true automotive Olympus. What followed is the esteemed school of fiction. When Simon saw “Star Wars” for the first time, it changed his life. “In the evening, after work in the studio, I began to sketch space ships.” After a Bugatti, this counts as the next conceivable dimension of movement. The young designer decided that this was his calling and created the internationally acclaimed and extremely successful illustrated book “Cosmic Motors” – a torrent of images of futuristic vehicles in unknown galaxies.”
