Ralph Gilles, Global Head of Design at Stellantis, has been active in media appearances discussing the company's design direction, electrification strategy, and his personal career. In a March 2026 episode of "Drive Like You're Alive" at M1 Concourse, Gilles showcased his personal garage and car collection, which includes a Giugiaro-designed Alfa Romeo and a Voodoo Edition Viper that he described as a celebration of his Haitian culture. He stated that his work on vehicles like the Viper taught him "the power of influence" and that cars are "a kind of permanent artifacts." In a June 2025 interview, Gilles discussed Chrysler's design history, noting the brand has "always been a bit of the underdog" and has "been looking to not only innovate but also break the mold." Gilles has also spoken about Stellantis's approach to electrification and design. In a 2024 interview, he said the company is "taking a bold step" with the Ram 1500 Revolution BEV concept, which features a new front-end signature and has removed the traditional Ram grille and logo. He stated that the company aims to be "the best electric truck" and is targeting a 50% electric portfolio by 2030. In other 2024 appearances, Gilles discussed the role of AI in design, noting that Stellantis has "embraced it right away" and set up a captive AI system for internal use. He also reflected on his career, stating that he fought hardest for improving vehicle interiors and that the thing he fought for but did not get was a Gen 6 Viper with a paddle shift system.

“The C8 Corvette is probably the best example, right? Here's a car that is probably mechanically the most outstanding machine you know, General Motors have ever made. Just a masterpiece of engineering. Even proportionally it's not horrible, but it's over styled.”
