Cameron, who led the company’s design from 1999 to 2012, was stabbed by a man when he answered the door of his home in Herrsching. Police are still searching for the assailant and have made no arrests so far.
Ian Cameron played a key role in the transformation of Rolls-Royce after its acquisition by BMW, significantly contributing to models like the Phantom and Ghost families.
Cameron’s career included stints at Pininfarina and Iveco before joining BMW in 1992, where he worked on projects such as the E46 Series 3 and the Z8. He was selected to lead Rolls-Royce’s design team, creating the iconic Phantom VII in 2003.
After retiring in 2013, Cameron ran his own consulting business and worked with classic cars. His wife, Verena Kloos, former president of BMW’s Designworks studio, escaped unharmed from the attack and ran to a neighbor for help.
