In addition to the revamped Lotus Esprit S4 and M100 Elan, he was responsible for the look of the +McLaren F1. Apparently after the F1, he did some work with Audi on a proposal for GT1 and GT2 Le Mans program. This all came about before +Audi USA switched gears and developed the R8 LMP1 car and its incredible successful descendants. ?
We first encountered designer Peter Stevens on Facebook earlier this month. We learned that longtime automotive designer was once involved with an Audi Le Mans project that pre-dated that of the R8R LMP1. At the time, Audi was exploring both the building of a supercar and the entry into Le Mans style sports car racing. GT1 & GT2 efforts were the hot formula at the time and the Audi TT was Ingolstadt’s only sports car.
