Frank Stephenson is known as one of the most relevant car designers of the beginning of this century.with works as celebrated as the modern Mini Cooper and Fiat 500 Ferrari F430 and FXX, the McLaren MP4-12C, P1 and 720S or the Maserati MC12 and GranSport.
The Spanish designer has been away from the big industry for some time, although from time to time we have seen him put his particular note on modern design, whether through his YouTube channel, promoting design and sketch masterclasses or collaborating with projects as interesting as the McLaren P1 Evo shown this year, which proposes what an update of his famous hypercar would be like.
Now he surprises us again with a totally new car, although with a small nuance. You will never get to see it in the real world, although you will be able to drive it.

And this car named FrankStein It is the latest supercar from the designer of Malaga origin, which comes directly to CSR Racing 2, a famous mobile game Known for its realistic graphics and high-level customization capabilities. The CSR2 has introduced some of the most exotic real cars throughout its years, from the latest hypercar to dream concepts, and now this sports car with interesting references is added to them.
And it is that It is not difficult to see some traces of Stephenson’s most famous models in this car: the cockpit area of the McLaren P1, the rear of the Ferrari FXX, the retro nose with headlights reminiscent of those of the Mini Cooper.
“At that point in my career, it wasn’t about designing a completely new car, which was the icing on the cake,” is how Stephenson himself explains it. “It was more about a greatest hits album, where he could take the best of each car he had designed, mix it, integrate it, and so they were beginning to create their own cohesive look.”
