Adrian van Hooydonk, a visionary gentleman


He adores motorbikes, the last one he bought was a Husqvarna Cross 400, like the one Steve McQueen rode bare-chested and on which the actor featured on the cover of Sports Illustrated in August 1971. However, Adrian van Hooydonk doesn't seem the type to ride bare-chested; he'll probably rather wear his usual white shirt, which clothes a physique as streamlined as the lines he draws ever since he started designing. Dutch by birth and a citizen of the world, since 2009 Van Hooydonk has been director of design of the BMW group which includes the Mini and Rolls-Royce and, on two wheels, BMW Motorrad and Husqvarna.
