Seat has appointed a new chief designer, Brit Steve Lewis.

Mr Lewis, whose full title is chief of exterior design, began working for Seat in 1996 when he was key in the development of the Toledo and Leon. More recently he worked with Seat's design director, Walter de'Silva on the Salsa and Salsa Emocion concept cars (pictured) seen at Geneva and Paris last year.

Mr Lewis said: "These concepts give an indication of the new sporty dynamic future we have in store for Seat. But you haven't seen anything yet. We still have a few more surprises up our sleeve."
