Hans Trippel was the designer behind the Mercedes-Benz Gullwing's door, Troll and the Amphicar.

Trippel was born on 19th July 1908 in the Darmstadt area and died 30th July 2001, possibly in Berlin. In 1934 he embarked upon a career as a racing driver. In retrospect he is better remembered for an active obsession with the development of amphibious motor vehicles. Also noteworthy is his membership of the quasi-military SA.
