Charles Deutsch (1911–1980) was a French aerodynamics engineer and automobile maker, founder of the brand "DB" with René Bonnet, and later of the „CD". Educated at the École Polytechnique, Deutsch was a pioneer in the field of aerodynamics, and founded the Sera-CD vehicle engineering Research and Development Company (Société d’Etudes et de Réalisations Automobiles - Charles Deutsch). He used the ground-effect on race cars ten years before Chaparral and his #53 entry from "Automobiles Deutsch et Bonnet" won the "Index of Performance" trophy at the 1961 24 Hours of Le Mans. The Alpine M64 which won the Index of Thermal Performance at the 1964 Le Mans also had bodywork designed by Deutsch. Deutsch served as President of the Société des ingénieurs de l'automobile from 1971 until 1975, followed by holding the presidency of FISITA, the International Federation of Automotive Engineering Societies, until 1978. He was also the race director of the 24 Hours of Le Mans (from 1969 until 1980) and of the Grand Prix of Monaco. French aerodynamics engineer Robert Choulet (École Centrale Paris) is Deutsch's most famous disciple. We celebrate his birthday with an AI image of a Alpine like he drove at Le Mans…
