WITH a name like “Miles”, it is difficult to imagine Miles Nurnberger doing anything that is not related to automobiles.

Miles Nurnberger

Having a father who ran a graphic design advertising agency and who loves cars helped.

From a young age, the 42-yearold Briton was immersed in the world of design and cars and he started drawing them when he was about seven years old.

A chance encounter with some scale models led to the realisation that he could actually design cars as a job. “From that day on, it was what I wanted to do and I am very privileged to still be doing what I was already doing since I was a boy.”

Never in his wildest dreams did he imagine that an internship stint while he was still a Transport Design undergraduate at Coventry University would one day land him a job offer at Aston Martin, following appointments with Ford Motor Company in the USA and Citroen Advanced Design in France.

Eleven years on, going to work still makes him feel like a boy in a toy shop.

Miles shares with Torque what working on Aston Martins such as the One-77 and the Valkyrie were like, whether designing supercars is any different from designing regular cars, and how the manufacturer is approaching electrification.
