Ferrari F40 or Lamborghini Countach? Talking car design with legendary designer, Frank Stephenson

Awsome car but i was hopeing that it would have a 6 speed manual (for heal and toe) and old school look gauges not that Huracan digital display...

f40 gets a lot of attention ,i,d like to see more about the 288 gto ,but another great video ,thanks

What a great rivalry if you know the history between both Ferruccio and Enzo. They would be friends (probably) if they were around today.

Absolutely amazing but just wanted to be the ONLY dislike lol. Harry you may remember me from Millbrook days

I must say it cause yall brought up the sex analogy. The Countach is sort of like Linda Love Lace. The F40? The girl who gloves up before she gives you a hand job. Please understand, I'm not talking about driving dynamics. Just anthropormising cars here and I blame you guys!

Love your content. If you do just a little segment on a bike or bikes I'm all in. Bet you have. Internet rabbit hole beckons!

Aerodynamically efficient: countach is rubbish..

is that even a contest. countach was iconic but definately not same level of performance as f40. f40 is same level as LFA

Harry, do you know any Alpine electronics nerds, who you could interview about the relationship between Lamborghini and Alpine and how that iconic marketing campaign evolved? It would make interesting viewing.

Thanks mr. Stepgenson for the Original Mini.
Had such a blast in the Cooper S!
Too date the best looking mini. It drove like an animal unlike the new ones. Will never be beaten.

Very hard to decide between the 2. But i think the f40 just takes it..just

f40 all day long

Whered the spoiler go? It was in the pic from the london motor show..

Every time Frank Stephenson mispronounces "Countach", an angel loses its wings

Sorry but I have to drop a dislike here. The pure gaul that this "Frank Stephenson" dude has to CONSTANTLY mispronounce "Countach" while claiming it's actually the correct way is just STUNNING. Like bro, it's not fucking YIDDISH. 😂

It's Mercedes door catçh on the F40

You can't really compare these two cars. The only ferrari that you probably can is the ferrari gto

LAMBORGHINI COUNTACH sempre!

Congratulations on the video. I have a question... Currently (2024), what is the market value (in dollars) of a Ferrari F40?

Frank is a legend. Adore the MC12 always have, always will. I still will never understand why Clarkson thought it was ugly.

Beautiful cars wich both are Fastastic!

Why does Frank think the end game is to pack cars onto a road surface bumper to bumper.?

This is the complete opposite of pelagic fish behaviour, where deception is to find sanctuary from their enemies is the end game?

Perhaps Frank can also give his views on where electric car design will evolve to ? The current early electric cars are simply conversions of the existing culture in manufacturing.

VTOL is a helicopter ...there will be no drone cars anytime soon as the taxpayer does not want to spend120 billion to put in a new lower airspace control system. At this moment its unaffordable to subsidize a few rich people who want convience of using a deregulated helicopter.. The taxpayers' money is best spent on developing clean propulsion for airliners, end of a debate with no clear purpose or direction.

Ferrari F 40 best looking car in the world ever

No offence the lambo just looks ugly

Sono e rimarranno le due auto più belle al mondo . Manca il De Tomaso Pantera

The Napa duct glazing in 2024 is crazy

Great comment, eliminate ( stupid people ) from the genpool ... Frank has 😂 been elevated in my eyes to the greatest now always liked the mans talent mc12 P1 and others are beautiful P1 is my favorite car when I win the lottery 😊

How is the Countach at top speed? Nice and stable?

One of those cars is the greatest car ever. The other is the Lamborghini countach

F40 is timeless beauty

LAMBORGHINI COUNTACH tem em seu poderoso V12 aspirado um potencial muito maior e seu ronco com seus 6 carburadores é uma sinfonia

Funny thing is I’ve driven a Countach and ridden in an F40. The Countach was fun to drive on a back road, but awful in town. It reminded me of my X1/9 just big and powerful. Seats were not very comfortable. Sound was incredible. Loved riding in the F40. Little bit of time on the road and two laps at Summit Point.

Wow I didn’t realize he helped to save Fiat with that little 500. Boy, that’s a feather in your cap! I purchased an 08 F430 Spider a few years back. Still have it and absolutely love it!

Dude had better stay out of biology, fish are in schools and birds are in flocks not swarms, D rones and bees are in swarms. And by the way a single hawk can scare a flock of birds straight into the ground to their demise , there are videos of such. A famous one in a town in Mexico that resulted in perhaps 100 or so dead birds. Can't wait for 100 flying cars turning in unison into the side of a skyscraper.. But I like his designs, but who drinks Budweiser

I'll never own these vehicles, but as a young boy these were both my hero cars. Thanks for the great insight into the F40 and comparison!

I’ve always been surprised how small does cars look compared to regular cars. Even modern Lamborghini’s and Ferries look so small in real life.

Wow talk about a CV..! X5 E53, Mini, Fiat 500..Guy has designed some of the most successful selling cars of all time.

Harry's candy store, I love it

I'm just back in the 60's, 70's. Give me a Mulliner S2 Bentley two door continental any day over these UGLY things. My father had one up in Northumberland back in the 70's. You could just sit and look at the damn thing all day it was so elegant. Sorry modern people.

I could literally listen to Frank discuss car design all day long. He has such a straight forward way of explaining it to novice people like myself

Harry, if I may offer some lighting suggestions for your garage. Install some solar light tubes in your roof. I recognize they will only work in the day, but it brings in an amazing amount of natural light. They are easy to install and IMHO offer a much better light for filming.

Petrol cars will not disappear for decades, even with the mandates to produce zero emission cars there will remain millions of petrol cars on the road. What I do believe will happen over time sadly is a petrol market that will be primarily a wealthy person enthusiast market. Whether it is EV’s, hydrogen powered or something else, eventually the cost of fuel will increase to the point where it will become uneconomical for the average person.

The Countach still looks like a UFO! The F-40 is a race car.

Fantastic video, and props to the camera person for that display of concentration and stamina on an unbroken 1 hour single take, keeping the constantly moving shot perfectly framed and interesting throughout.
