Les rumeurs de l'ann\u00e9e derni\u00e8re ont \u00e9t\u00e9 officiellement confirm\u00e9es. Gerry McGovern, designer de longue date chez Jaguar Land Rover, quitte ses fonctions. L'une des voix cr\u00e9atives les plus puissantes de l'industrie automobile britannique va voler de ses propres ailes en lan\u00e7ant un cabinet de conseil en design.<\/b><\/p>\n

JLR a confirm\u00e9 que McGovern quittera officiellement l'entreprise \u00e0 la fin du mois de mars 2026, cl\u00f4turant ainsi un chapitre qui a dur\u00e9 plus de 22 ans.<\/p>\n

La nouvelle, d'abord rapport\u00e9e par Autocar apr\u00e8s qu'un m\u00e9mo interne a \u00e9t\u00e9 partag\u00e9 avec le personnel, met fin \u00e0 des mois de sp\u00e9culations, de d\u00e9mentis et de drames d'entreprise qui couvaient discr\u00e8tement depuis la fin de l'ann\u00e9e 2025.<\/p>\n

M. McGovern a rejoint Land Rover au d\u00e9but de l'ann\u00e9e 2004 en tant que directeur du design avanc\u00e9. Il a progressivement gravi les \u00e9chelons pour devenir Chief Design Officer et, en 2020, Chief Creative Officer pour l'ensemble du groupe JLR. \u00c0 ce titre, il a \u00e9galement rejoint le comit\u00e9 ex\u00e9cutif de l'entreprise. En bref, peu de personnes ont autant fa\u00e7onn\u00e9 l'apparence des voitures haut de gamme britanniques modernes que lui.<\/p>\n

Un peu de myst\u00e8re<\/b><\/b><\/p>\n

Les circonstances de la sortie de McGovern ne sont pas tout \u00e0 fait claires. En d\u00e9cembre 2025, des rapports sugg\u00e8rent qu'il a d\u00e9j\u00e0 \u00e9t\u00e9 \u201cescort\u00e9 hors du b\u00e2timent\u201d. JLR a cat\u00e9goriquement d\u00e9menti ces informations \u00e0 l'\u00e9poque et, au d\u00e9but de 2026, Car Design News a indiqu\u00e9 qu'il \u00e9tait toujours actif en interne.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Maintenant que son d\u00e9part est confirm\u00e9, la s\u00e9quence pr\u00e9cise des \u00e9v\u00e9nements reste floue. Qu'il ait d\u00e9j\u00e0 d\u00e9cid\u00e9 de devenir ind\u00e9pendant ou que le remaniement de la direction qui a amen\u00e9 le nouveau PDG PB Balaji \u00e0 la fin de l'ann\u00e9e 2025 ait jou\u00e9 un r\u00f4le, JLR n'en dit pas plus.<\/p>\n

Ce que JLR a dit \u00e9tait g\u00e9n\u00e9reux dans le ton. Dans la note interne, Balaji a soulign\u00e9 l'impact de McGovern sur les marques : \u201cLe leadership cr\u00e9atif, la vision, le dynamisme et la passion de Gerry ont laiss\u00e9 une empreinte ind\u00e9l\u00e9bile sur nos marques. Je tiens \u00e0 remercier Gerry pour la contribution significative qu'il a apport\u00e9e \u00e0 JLR et je lui souhaite beaucoup de succ\u00e8s dans son prochain chapitre cr\u00e9atif.\u201d<\/p>\n

McGovern lui-m\u00eame s'est montr\u00e9 tout aussi gracieux : \u201cCe fut un grand privil\u00e8ge de travailler pour JLR pendant deux d\u00e9cennies extraordinaires, et je voudrais remercier la famille Tata en particulier pour les opportunit\u00e9s qu'elle m'a offertes. (...) Je suis extr\u00eamement fier de ce que nous avons construit ensemble\u201d.\u201d<\/p>\n

Un portefeuille qui parle de lui-m\u00eame<\/b><\/b><\/p>\n

La liste des mod\u00e8les qui portent son empreinte cr\u00e9ative se lit comme une collection de grands succ\u00e8s. Le Range Rover Evoque a ouvert la marque \u00e0 un public enti\u00e8rement nouveau, plus jeune et plus f\u00e9minin. Le Velar a apport\u00e9 une sensibilit\u00e9 plus \u00e9l\u00e9gante et plus minimaliste \u00e0 la gamme. Et puis, il y a eu sans doute sa plus grande r\u00e9ussite : la renaissance du Land Rover Defender. C'est aujourd'hui l'un des plus grands succ\u00e8s de la marque.<\/p>\n

Plus r\u00e9cemment, McGovern a guid\u00e9 la direction du design du concept Jaguar Type 00, le showcar polarisant mais attirant l'attention, qui pr\u00e9figurait la transformation de Jaguar en une marque ultra-luxueuse enti\u00e8rement \u00e9lectrique. Il a divis\u00e9 les opinions, mais son style a \u00e9galement fait des adeptes, comme la version conceptuelle d'Audi d'une future TT, le Concept C.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Aucun successeur n'a \u00e9t\u00e9 d\u00e9sign\u00e9<\/b><\/b><\/p>\n

L'une des choses qui ressortent de l'annonce de JLR est l'absence flagrante de nom de successeur. Il convient \u00e9galement de noter que l'\u00e9quipe de M. McGovern n'aurait pas \u00e9t\u00e9 impliqu\u00e9e dans la campagne de repositionnement de l'image de marque de Jaguar, qui a fait l'objet d'un large d\u00e9bat et qui a \u00e9t\u00e9 confi\u00e9e \u00e0 une agence de cr\u00e9ation externe.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Les d\u00e9tails concernant son nouveau cabinet de conseil n'ont pas encore \u00e9t\u00e9 rendus publics. M. McGovern n'est pas le premier chef du design \u00e0 suivre cette voie : son pr\u00e9d\u00e9cesseur chez Jaguar, Ian Callum, a fait de m\u00eame, et avant eux, le c\u00e9l\u00e8bre designer de BMW, Chris Bangle. L'ancien designer d'Apple, Jony Ive, qui participe actuellement \u00e0 la conception de la Ferrari Luce, a \u00e9galement suivi cette voie.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
