DESIGNER THOMAS CLEVER

Als Exteriordesigner im Studio Corsa/Tigra des Opel Design Center in Rüsselsheim war Thomas Clever u.a. der Gestalter des Corsa Combos von 1993. Er war Teil des Teams für Konzeptfahrzeuge wie dem des Opels Twin 1992, später auch im Advanced Designstudio Bertone in der Nähe von Turin. Er war einer der ersten "Pioniere" im Designcenter, der 3-dimensionale Entwürfe auch virtuell umsetzte und sowohl Hand- wie auch Computerunterstützte - Designtechniken auf mehreren Automobilmessen vorstellte.

Auch nach dem Wechsel ins Tessin zur Protoscar SA arbeitete er weiterhin - meist digitale- Entwürfe für das Opel Designcenter aus. Als Spezialist für Freiformflächen-Programme der Firma PTC war er mehrmals in der Designabteilung der Porsche AG in Weissach eingesetzt. Ab dem Jahr 2000 modellierte und gestaltete er teilweise insgesamt 9 Rinspeed Showfahrzeuge, die jeweils auf dem Genfer Autosalon Premiere hatten. Das Exteriordesign der Elektrosportwagen Lampo2 (Premiere 2010) und Lampo3 (2011) für die Schweizer Firma Protoscar erweiterte die reiche Liste an Konzeptfahrzeug-Entwürfen.

Thomas Clever ist seit 2012 als freiberuflicher Designer im Team der CAD-ConES oHG Remscheid.
