you know Bushka?
Fun fact about the Miura: It's supposed to resemble a bull when you look at it from the front when the doors are open, which is another reason for that sweep on the rear edge of the door.
I first "drove" a Lamborghini Miura during the winter of 1968-69 in Genoa, Italy, during the night, in a snowfall. As part of my college program, I worked on a cargo ship on a trip from the US to the Med and back. On the way back, we stopped to pick up 115 Fiats and a couple of exotics, including the orange Miura. When I saw they were loading the cars, I hurried down to the dockside and was drooling over the Miura, when the amused dockworkers motioned for me to get in. They pushed, and I steered by their hand signals, down the dock to where the car would be lifted into the hold. A glorious memory I will have forever, and obviously, my favorite Lamborghini!
That's a really nice story, thanks for sharing. Hope you get to actually drive a Miura someday. Cheers
Top 3 American muscle cars would be neat, and something different stylistically.
YES that is a video I want to see from him
me too!
Good idea .. classic and modern muscle ....
Yes!
Great suggestion N S, thanks, will do!
What about a 'Best & worst facelifts' video?
Worst facelifts would be awesome, im sure he would talk about the maseratis boomerang tailights
@@marciliojunior4919 these were killed by US regulations ..
@@marciliojunior4919 he talked about them already
@@tomrhodes3456 he talked about it in another video but he didnt mention it... So probably not
@@venglomarci yes, that's why i mentioned, im sure he will talk about that again
Thanks for this great content Frank. Here is the my top three Lamborghini's :
Murcielago SV
Gallardo Superleggera 570-4
Sesto Elemento
(no classic lamborghini because I was born in 2001. These lamborghini's are my childhood dreams)
Countach was the true star of Cannonball Run. ✌
Miura is jaw dropping. Like looking into the sun, it so audaciously overwhelms the senses, making it hard to comprehend. The Countach still looks futuristic & even better without the wheel arches & ground effects. #3 on the list is where the debate begins.
What I love about the Espada is the front grille is literally just that.....a grille with floating headlights, a void to feed air to the V12
Top 3 Porsche cars next time! Saluti from Italy 🇮🇹
911,911 and 911 😂 - I may be biased as I owned one!
Whaletail 911, rally 911, that one 911 where the engine is in the back xD
I'll give a top three that is not just 911:
917 LH, Carrera GT, 928
Coming soon V, it’s in the editing phase.
@@FrankStephensondesign This channel is such a pleasure to watch! Thank you Frank for all these amazing insights
Frank those visuals absolutely cracked me up! Outstanding!
I never really took to the Espada's design at all, but thought the Estoque concept was quite a smart looking car. I have a soft spot for the Jalpa (with the Rear Wing) and the Gallardo was a smart little car too in my view. Love the brand though and the team at the factory in Sant' Agata Bolognese come across as the loveliest, friendliest and most welcoming people.
Frank. Thank you for an outstanding review. When I was about 11 years old, I was walking home and passed by a dealer showroom, floor-to-ceiling glass display window featuring a Miura and an Espada parked side by side under glaring white lights facing the street. The two cars stopped me in my track as if I witnessing a divine event with a level of wonder and excitement that I remember to this day. Not sure how long I was stuck to the display window glass but I am sure that in the morning, the window cleaner spent a fair amount of time cleaning my fingerprints and slobber off.
I loved this channel cause you really learn a lot through Frank's passion, knowledge and experience, which for me marks the difference ... and I couldn't agree more with your choice!!! 🔝
4:36 that angle 🖤😍
It's taken from the Petrolicious video. Watch it if you haven't already, it's really nice.
Countach (mark 1, the “clean” version)
Uracco
Gallardo
"Vetroresina"
What about an analisis to Pagani cars? That would be interesting o:
There are only two
@@marciliojunior4919 Well, he didn't ask for a top 3
The world without Lamborghini would be so sad. They take designs that other companies would only keep as concepts, and actually put them on the road. The Aventador hasn't aged a day for me, I like the original 2012 LP700-4 the most because there are no spoilers or excessive aero and it keeps the design looking very clean. Filippo Perini, I salute you.
I've always had a soft spot for the Silhouette (not the Jalpa) but I agree with your 3 choices.
IMO the Lamborghini Countach was a design language coup on what we thought super cars should look like. The design was so ahead of it time. For the first time you could by a super car that looked like what our imaginations could only wish for - for the future in automotive design. Certainly a pivotal moment in automotive history.
I agree with the list, although I would give an honor mention to the one that started it all, the 350/400. The use of glass in that one is impressive, even more if one considers that it was their first effort.
With that being said, the Espada is the one I like the most because it doesn’t look like a Lamborghini at all with its engine placed in the front, room for 4 and a design that doesn’t scream for attention. Instead grabs the attention by being unique and having many subtle touches that make it interesting to look at from every angle. Just a fabulous, useful and unique design.
Can't believe I'm just discovering this channel. Really a gem it's super rare to find such an intelligent and also informative content creator
Exactly my top three. Also I expect Lamborghini Diablo VT roadster too. There are a lot of design differences between diablos. Rear shark style engine vents makes VT more aggresive.
Why aren‘t car brands using Naca ducts anymore?? They look so great on that Countach and Espada
Not that aerodynamic...
Well.... With the moder design where cars need to "flowy"....naca ducts don't actually fit in.
That's a good question. Frank?
I love them Luca, they’re used a lot in Formula 1 design.
It's used in Porsche GT2RS and last gen GT3RS as of the latest (In production cars)
@@tharushsomashekar This duct design was developed by NACA specifically for its aerodynamics, ie to extract flow over the panel without drag loss. But it only works if the shape and ramp angle are correct. Some car designs have NACA-loooking ducts for purely styling reasons, a bit like a modern hatch-back with a diffuser under the rear that isn't actually connected to the rest of the under-floor aero.
Best thing about this video and the one about BMW was Frank really explaining his impression and what effects him imho. Great teacher, so entertaining
Thanks
A great Gandini design that never made it past the show-car stage was the two-seat Bravo from about 1974. At the time, I was about 18 years old and thought it was absolutely amazing.
Stunning car. One of my faves!
Espada my favourite. I always loved it! First time i saw it was in a Italian movie from 1973, Flatfoot.
I love the music in the edit! Great editing is really the final nail in this coffin your videos are beyond phenomenal!
My top Lambo favorites: the Miura, the ... Miura, and of course the Miura. The only other car design that came close to it was the Ferrari Dino.
As I re-watch all of your videos for anything I can learn, last year I saw a Countach on the road. Definitely not a kit car. I couldn’t believe how tiny it was. Yes, low to the ground but a lot shorter and narrower than I would’ve expected
Would love a video on Gandini’s designs. RIP to a legend
We missed you!
I was a little surprised but very happy to see the Espada on this short list.
Brilliant choice of music great content. Thank you Frank!
I've always loved the understated elegance of the Islero. They don't look like a typical Lamborghini, but they are just simple, classic, and beautiful.
Thanks for this amazing video! My 3 favorite Lamborghinis are the Veneno, the og Countach LP400 (without the wing!) and the Diablo.
The Veneno, because it's hands down the most ridiculous, in your face design I've ever seen on a car, and I was completely blown away when I saw it for the first time.
The Countach LP400 in particular, because I absolutely adore Gandini's original design, without all the weird add-ons that followed over the years. The LP400 looks so pure and futuristic, it's hard not to be fascinated when you see it.
The Diablo, because it was the first dream car of my childhood. I've had a yellow 1/18 Diablo model car as a kid, and took it with me everywhere I went, like a teddy bear.
I totally agree with the last phrase about the countach.. Its not the prettiest for many but its the best design
Rear wheel arch line of the Countach is 💯💯💯
Liked it. Thanks for taking out time and helping others.
Thank you for including the Espada - and for showing us a fleeting glimpse of the incredible Marzal, maybe my all-time favourite concept car.
❤️ your videos thank you. The editing on this one is top notch too.
Working on a 25th anniv Countach model kit. One of my earliest favorites as a child, always reminded me of a Japanese robot mechs.
The espada influenced the Australian ford falcon.
My favorite three lambos are The Diablo, Countach, and favorite modern version of The Countach, The Aventador SVJ
Loved the fish bowl sequence :) , oh great review too!
Marcello Gandini "penned" some of the most beautiful cars ever made, like the Citroen Camargue, Fiat X1/9, and great superminis like the Renault 5 and the Autobianchi A112. And the awesome Alfa Romeo Montreal. In terms of Lambos, the Miura and the Countach are awesome but i'd have to go also with the Gallardo. It's a simply beautiful car that sums up the design language that I call "small, wide, and low" that gives this image of raw power.
Keep it italien Alfa romeo next please. 'o'
Yes... That would be fun to watch.
That has got to be a hard one! There isn't a bad looking Alfa...
I personally think Lamborghini has managed to make the new car even more beautiful and classic as the last so i would rank them 1. Aventador, 2. Murcielago, 3. Diablo, 4. Countach, 5. Miura.
But i'm worried about the next model because i don't like the look of the Sian and i'm pretty sure it is the design concept for the next generation like the Reventon was for the Aventador.
Just discovered this channel. Liked and subscribed. I feel like this channel deserves more subs and views!
Thanks
I completely agree with the list. I have seen them all in real life. They are the most striking in terms of design. Love them.
You have a really great channel , thank you ! Would love to hear your thoughts on the new Audi Etron GT and Hyundai ionic 5
Next episode please do a top 10, especially with brands like this with so many amazing designs
Excellent video, nicely done.
As a kid, my most precious Hot Wheels what a red Countach, I used to look at it thinking "How?? Why???"
That bottle in the background took a real hit since the last video, I don’t blame you, id need it too after studying the shapes of a Miura 😉👍
How about a video on your three most favorite designs from General Motors?
Do a video on the top 3 VWs. VW made only a few trurly iconic designs but If you look in to it they made a surprisingly high number of beautiful cars that didn’t become famous. The obvious answers would be Beetle, mark 1 Golf, Type 2 bus. But If you look closer you have the Ghia, the Type 3 fastback it was based on, the mark 1 scirocco which in my opinion looks even better than it’s brother the Golf, you have the SP2 from VW Brazil which has one of the nicest rear ends I have ever seen(the stereotype about brazilians and the obsession with nice butts comes to mind), the W12 nardo which has all the VW roundness and kindness you could ever want ON A SUPERCAR, the W12 Golf concept which is so wrong yet so right, the new Arteon which is what becomes of a VW after an 80s movie training montage and makeover. VW makes understated cars but some of them really are pretty.
Also the SP2 has the same proportions as the Porsche 944 and the Datsun/Nissan Fairlady Z but looks better than both. Come at me JDM fanboys, I will fight the lot of you!!!! (I do love the Datsun Z cars but still)
Great reviews
thanks for uploading
As I was watching I wondered if the Countach was going to make your list, so glad it did. Growing up I wanted a white one (still do 🙂). Always preferred it with the big wheel arches and wing but was looking at pics of the original only today and starting to fancy that more .... actually ... yeah I'll have it with the wing and arches please.
The original is so much better! The extra fibreglass does look cool, but it really detracts from the purity of the original design. It's disappointing that Frank didn't touch on this controversial aspect.
What about top 3 alfa romeo?
It would be very interesting, they produced a lot of stunning cars.
I love your videos and appreciate your amazing work, keep it up!
LOVE the Espada
Would love for you to do a top 3 designs each of Maserati, Alfa Romeo, Lancia, Aston Martin, Rolls/Bentley (pre & post merger), Jaguar, Mercedes Benz, BMW and Porsche.
Lamborghini Diablo SE30 Jota in purple = Perfection. For me its still looks like a design from an alien planet. Organic and striking.
I'd like to see your opinions on some cars by obscure manufacturers. Not only old ones that shut down ages ago and are now virtually forgotten but there are also so many tiny companies that only have a few models out that you rarely see even on events and almost never on the streets. I bet you know what I'm talking about.
Swap Espada for a Diablo and you have my list. I really think every v12 they produce is really a continuation of the wedge design the Countach started. Marcello Gandini is the man. I'm also a huge fan of the Lancia Stratos.
Who isn't ;)
It is the Espada that makes my heart beat go up, literally. THE ultimate dream car to have. It is SO beautifully perfectly designed that I simply can not find anything or any detail out of tune. It stands as design perfection at its finest, for me at least. The Marzal would have been the true ultimate but I can understand that production would have been impossible perhaps. The Espada is the imaginary practical perfect rendition of the Marzal I think. Next would be the LP400, the origal production in its purity. Last but not least the Murciélago because it announced the modern styling language, and it looks timeless, like what the original LP400 did at the time still looking fantastic as well.
When I was a kid, I thought Espada was some kind of low slung station wagon, but that's how I remember it to this day.
Love the analysis, Frank! Particularly when it comes to the Italian stuff. In that vein, maybe you would consider discussing the yacht builder Riva and their infamous Aquarama. What is it that makes it so incredible looking?
Frank, I thought for sure you were going to list
1) Miura
2) 350GT
3) Countach LP400 Periscopio
Interesting position on the Espada, you've opened my eyes
The eighties, and that white Countach, are absolutely what Lamborghini was to me.
I agree that the most beautiful of these three is the Miura: just sublime curves.
And, recently, I heard that the Countach is really not that aerodynamic.
Nevertheless, that white Countach is what I'd have. It's Lamborghini's identity at that time, it's striking... and I'd love to have it. Cool dream.
I tried to guess them before I watched the video and the Mura and the Countach were on my list too. I completely agree with what you say about the Countach. I honestly think, for me anyway, it is much more eye-catching over modern Lamborghinis like the Huracan or even the Aventador.
Ciao Frank, I totally agree with your choices. For me the Miura is more then a piece of art. It is like smelling the scent of the skin of a young sofia loren in a farmhouse in an Italian countryside in the late 60s.You described it really well. I love your style and your design. Congratulations for this channel.
My top 3 Lamborghini are
Diablo
Countach
Aventador
Great video. Again.
The Urraco is an elegant, if underrated, GT. As is the Jarama, much better balanced than the Espada, and the Miura is just fabulous! The Countach is hors concours, but only the first, uncladded series, when Marcello's lines can be admired in their purity.
Always loved the Espada when none of my friends did. I love the design and the glass,the engine you name it! My x told me I’d be stupid to buy one & said “If the glass breaks it’s so rare you just can’t go down to the Espada glass section at Walmart!” I told her it’s worth the risk & that she wasn’t! Lol
Countach LP400 S Series 1 / 2 (Low body)4
Mercielago Series 1
Diablo SE30
These classics are timeless but the modern Lambos are nothing to be messed with also. I think the Aventador and the new Sian are striking.
For me, the most marking Lamborghini is the Diablo ! When I think Lamborghini, always comes a Lamborghini Diablo Purple
And on most of photos in magazine, they are Purple ! Not a colour I am fan of, but on the Diablo, this works very well !
My 3 Favorite Lambo designs
Aventador
Sian
Murielago
hello mr Stephenson - found out about your work just before purchasing my first BMW E53 (super excited - I love this Bulgarian Gangster vibe of that car) - and the funny thing is I always loved most of your designs. your channel is such a great contribution in building understanding for beautiful design.
One thing - when you're explaining designs, you can use your Apple Pencil to draw on the pictures - it would be easier to visually grasp what you mean.
Have a nice day! :)
Teodor
Thanks! I could never understand why my Bic pen wasn’t working on the screen!
Please take a look at the 1991 Audio Quattro Spyder (it's the orange one)---concept car and it's amazing. Few know of its existence, but it seems to me the perfect car. Similar to the first Lambo you mention.
1989 25th anniversary countach is may fav
Would love your opinion on the upcoming T50.
I think its ugly, is a pure functional design
@@marciliojunior4919 That is far from truth. Gordon specifically designed the front of the car without spoilers (which would additionaly provide downforce as a function). You can clearly see that on the T.50, the front is very uniform. Not to mention the lack of rear wing... Downforce is provided via a turbine, which enabled the cars design to be more elegant / spoiler free.
@@stokovsky8483 Downforce compromises straight line speed. Maybe he left it like that not to produce too much downforce.
The Espada is a good looking car and I prefer it of the first two. I would consider this being similar to looking at a Corvette and a Chevelle and picking the Chevelle.
Boy did you get it right,I agree,all auto perfection!
My favourite Lamborghini design is definitely the one of the Urraco.
For me, Murcielago is best looking car ever. Modern, but not too modern, will stay fresh for many years. Absolute classic. Miura is also very cool.
The Miura is one of the few cars I don’t understand why everyone likes. I understand when it comes to the chassis/engine/history etc. but on looks alone I wasn’t the biggest fan of this car. I do think it’s stunning when you open the car up with the two bonnets opposite of each other. Also when it comes to the Countach, the Walter Wolf Special Countach in red is one of my favorite Lamborghinis ever.
My 3: Diablo SV, Countach, and Sesto Elemento.
My top three is probably boring for most:
3. Gallardo 5.0
2. Huracan Evo
1. Aventador S
The Aventador was the gamechanger for me. First seeing the Diablo back in the late 90's solidified Lamborghini as being my favourite brand, but the Aventador captured my heart in a way I never would have expected from a car. I initially hated the S refresh, especially with the SV's intakes as I found they broke the lines and smoothness of the car, but now I find it difficult to look at the LP-700. I've been working on a project for the last decade or so that I hope will allow me to actually buy one some day!
Now here I 1000% agree! Can you do one for Maserati and Aston Martin??
Hope you and yours are happy and healthy in these crazy times, Frank.
Regards from the still as yet locked-down grey UK
Frank, great channel, would you please also comment on (Super/Mega) Yacht designs?
You talk about giving the engineers a challenge. The Muira was clever, the Contach must have been a nightmare. I remember trying to get in one and at 6'3 it was a real challenge but what a magnificent machine.
My top 5 :
1) Miura
2) Countach
3) Murci SV
4) Sian
5) Gallardo
I love the Countach but it is as aerodynamic as a brick. I was designed to look outrageous but is has nothing to do with aerodynamics ;)
Ive studied aerodynamics and other than the front bumper, its not so bad.
Sloped front, shallow transition to roof, kamm tail. It bears some resemblance to a Prius, and is pretty ok overall.
Top 3
Miura
Countach
Espada
I would love to hear your thoughts on The new Pagani Huayra R and Paganis in general?
Yes you picked some beauties , the muira being the king , wonder what you think of the modern ones and maybe do a feature on that . Also throw the Urus into the mix. Would be great to see your take .
