Car Design News is an online magazine for the international automotive design community, published by Car Design News Ltd.Car Design News was founded by Brett Patterson, an automotive designer with General Motors Europe Design (in Rüsselsheim, Germany) in November 1999.

Over the past nine years Car Design News has grown to be considered as one of the leading references for the car design industry, with subscribers including most major automotive manufacturers.
