Mattin was the design director for Volvo since 2005 and has been a great influence in the design creations of models like the C30, XC60, and lately, the S60 Concept from Detroit. With Daimler-Chrysler, Mattin also made significant contributions to a wide-range of models including the SL, SLK, SLR, R-Class, M-Class and the Maybach line-up.
