Story FIVA Award: Lifetime achievement award for Carl Horst Hahn

In 1981, Volkswagen presented the Auto 2000 concept car. “That will be the new Golf!,” was the reaction of one worried rival – prompting significant improvements to their own competitor for the Golf. Carl H. Hahn did nothing to dampen these fears when he became Chairman of the Board of Management of Volkswagen in 1982 – before surprising everyone with a Golf II that represented evolution rather than revolution.
