Overview
Frank Stephenson can be credited with designing some of the most iconic cars of modern times
When discussing the design of the automobiles featured in the game, Stephenson stated that most of the cars featured are more often than not, a blend of two popular cars. This is done to avoid Rockstar from being sued.
The Premise for the Design
Next, he sketched out the car from the front 3/4 angle
With his latest creation, Frank took design elements from not two, three, or even four cars. The final design that Stephenson has come up with takes inspiration from six of his most memorable cars, including the likes of the Maserati MC12, Ferrari F430, Ferrari FXX, McLaren P1, Ford Escort Cosworth, and the Mini Cooper.
While most game cars take inspiration from one or two models, Frank much further with Frankenstein, which drew inspiration from six of his most successful designs of all time
As with any of Stephenson’s designs, he began by sketching the vehicle’s side profile on a sheet of paper. He then proceeded to draw the car from the front three-quarter angle. This is where you can really begin to see the car take shape. Stephenson then goes on to sketch the lines of the car from the rear three-quarters. The final bit was to transform these sketches into 3D.
The End Result
Behold, the Frankenstein is finally here
And with that his creation was ready. Stephenson’s car is dubbed “Frankenstein,” and to say that it is eye-catching would be an understatement. It has the same dimensions as the MC12 and a front fascia that is reminiscent of the Trident sports car and the Ferrari F430. The side profile and cockpit shape resemble the McLaren P1 and 12C.
So overall, Frankenstein is a stellar effort by Frank Stephenson. He has made the files of the car available for anyone to download and tinker with. We cant wait to see what people do with it. Swipe Up to Read More
The top view of Frankenstein is especially stunning because it shows off the car’s width, especially around the back. The tail end is equally bold and purposeful with several components being shared with the likes of the FXX, and the Escort Cosworth. They include elements like the exhaust units, the taillights, and those exaggerated wings and spoilers.
Conclusion
Upon numerous requests from purists and fans alike, he has now created a one-off mock-up of a car dubbed the ’Frankenstein’ for GTA V
In the end, Stephenson adds that one of the reasons he stopped designing supercars and hypercars was because not many people actually got to enjoy his creations. But now with Frankenstein, he is actually making the digital files available for the public to download and play around with the design of the car themselves.
