Giugiaro's earliest cars, like the Alfa Romeo 105/115 Series Coup�s, often featured
tastefully arched and curving shapes, such as the 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, Lotus Esprit S1, and Maserati Bora followed
before a softer approach returned in the Lamborghini Cal�, Maserati Spyder, and
Ferrari GG50.

Giugiaro is widely known for the DMC DeLorean, featured prominently in the
Hollywood blockbuster series Back to the Future. His most commercially successful
design was the Volkswagen Golf Mk1.

In 1976, Giugiaro explored a new taxi concept with the Museum of Modern Art (MOMA),
which became the 1978 Lancia Megagamma concept. Fiat had commissioned the 1978
concept from Italdesign, asking for a 4-meter, high roof, high h-point,
multifunctional, monospace design � but ultimately found the concept too risky for
production. In retrospect the Megagamma was more influential than it was itself
successful, becoming the "conceptual birth mother of the MPV/minivan movement"[4] �
giving rise to such mini/compact MPV's as the Nissan Prairie (1981) and Fiat 500L
(2011) as well as larger MPV's including the Renault Espace and Chrysler minivans.
