Hans Trippel (19 July 1908 – 30 July 2001) was a German industrial designer, responsible for the designs of the Trippel SG6, Mercedes-Benz Gullwing's door and the Amphicar.
In retrospect, he is better remembered for the development of amphibious motor vehicles.
As an active supporter of the Nazi regime in 1940 when France was invaded by Germany, Trippel took over control of the Bugatti plant at Molsheim.
Following Germany's defeat in 1945, he was interned as a war profiteer by the French authorities for three years, until 1949.
