Former Volkswagen brand design chief Jozef Kabaň is joining MG as the brand celebrates its centenary this year.

Kabaň has a wealth of experience across VW marques such as Audi, Škoda, and SEAT but is most known for creating the iconic Bugatti Veyron supercar. 

Kaban's educational background is as distinguished as his professional one, being a graduate of the Royal Academy of Art in London.

MG Motor Australia’s Chief Executive Officer, Peter Ciao said this comes at a pivotal time for MG, as the company celebrates its centenary.
“I have followed Jozef Kabaň closely within the industry and we’re very happy to have him join MG as we get ready for the launch of the Cyberster EV roadster later this year.

“MG will unveil its latest concept car, the EXE181, at the Beijing motor show this week. This new concept draws inspiration from the EX181 land speed record breaker of 1957 which had Sir Stirling Moss behind the wheel, signalling MG's ongoing commitment to innovation and performance,” said Ciao.

MG Motor has a storied history that dates back to 1924, with its roots deeply embedded in the creation of the MG 14/28 Super Sports car by Cecil Kimber.
