Count Albrecht von Goertz, also known as Albrecht Goertz (German: Albrecht Graf von Schlitz genannt von Goertz und von Wrisberg; 12 January 1914 – 27 October 2006), was a German industrial designer who designed cars for BMW, including the BMW 503 and BMW 507. He also was an early contributor to the design of the legendary Toyota 2000GT and the first generation Nissan Silvia.
Early life
He was born at Brunkensen in Lower Saxony, the second of three children of Rudolf Graf von Schlitz genannt von Goertz und von Wrisberg (1884–1933) and his wife, Else Meyer (1882–1968). His elder brother Eberhard died in 1951, and while Albrecht did not technically inherit the honorific , he began to call himself "The Count," and is often referred to that way.
