AutoWeek's Fast Five: Karl-Heinz Kalbfell.(News)(Brief Article)(Interview)
Byline: MATT DAVIS
Rolls-Royce recently changed its chairman and chief executive from Tony Gott to Karl-Heinz Kalbfell. We caught up with the new man at the Goodwood Festival of Speed.
AW: What do you say to the fear that German companies are taking over all the great British marques and putting Germans in the top seats?
Kalbfell: I'm aware of this, of course. But I've been with the Rolls-Royce project officially since April 1999 in a management position. I don't want to try to "be British,'' but I love this country and its traditions. What's so wrong with being German?
AW: Aside from your time working on the brand, what recommends you to lead Rolls-Royce?
