Dan Athanasiu
Editor
He is one of those who believe that the car you drive, and especially if you own one, represents you, becoming unique. Psychologists can say a lot on this topic.
He had the chance to enter, almost from the beginning, in the editorial office of AutoPro, later transformed into AMS. None of the extraordinary cars he touched over three decades touched him enough to take the step to own it – it had to be unique. For this reason, what drives today has no way of being presented in the AMS. Again, psychologists can say a lot about this.

In 2020 I fulfilled my dream and became an editor at Auto Motor and Sport. I love classic cars, and regarding the future, I’m not the biggest fan of the subject electrification. In my spare time I manage to dabble with my other passion, aviation. In the year 2022 I obtained my pilot’s license for ultralight motorized aircraft.
