Last March, the winners for the 2009 Red Dot Design competition were already announced. However, the Best of the Best award was presented only last night in Essen, Germany during a presentation. And the winner for the Best of the Best Award is Volkswagen for its Passat CC 4-door coupe.
Hosted by the Aalto Theater in Essen, Martin Kropp, the top designer for Volkswagen, was the one who took the award as the official representative for the Exterior Design Studio 1. Design Zentrum Nordrhein Westfalen, the oldest and most celebrated design group in Europe has been handing the red dot Best of the Best awards since year 2000.
So far, Volkswagen’s Passat CC 4-door coupe is an award-winning model as it has also won the IF Product Design Award 2009, the Australian International Design Award, and of course, the red dot Best of the Best Award.
Choosing the winner for the red dot award is labor-extensive and exhausting as far as the design experts are concerned. Each model entered in the competition has to be evaluated using the contest’s categories. Car and design experts worldwide gather to see the latest in car design.
