Dear Frank, This channel is a work of art. You should absolutely keep this going. You can reduce the frequency while maintaining the quality. I presume you already have a team of designers and someone manages this channel for you. You can delegate further and get your team to do the grunt work of modifying the designs while you focus on ideation/guidance/review of your team's work.

Agreed on the headlamp covers - they should go all the way or not be there at all. Instead of looking mean, it just looks... disinterested. For the front 'strakes', I'd reduce the number to 3, soften them and make them more upswept to merge with the lines of the front fender. Only thing I'd change in the middle is make it a pure hardtop and extend the shark gills further up the roof, or increase the glass viewing area. For the rear, I'd have everything below the tail lights be pure black and increase the number of exhaust pipes to 4.

I think everyone watching appreciates the professionality and thought put into all of your videos; that being said, KZbin's roots are with amateurs being able to share ideas with relatable content. there's no need to be formal or have a polished off production with an edited script etc. I think having a more informal approach would be just as insightful as the most professionally produced and edited videos. Initial, guttural, unfiltered reactions are arguably better and more relatable for your audience. Might even become much more popular as any professionally produced (made for TV) video. I mean KZbin made an entire cottage industry of people opening boxes for the first time (unboxing videos).

Great analysis as always, Frank. I think the location of the door handle is dictated by the air channel void in the door. It's really the only practical location to put it.

Hello Frank, that is a very good shout about the 250 concept car, that’s definitely the influence on the rear. Question, given the choice (and the chance) would you have redesigned the Testarossa (and 348) with round rear lights rather than the horizontal slats? Personally I think that they still look great (and getting better with age) and depict and incredible 80’s icon styling with Pininfarina at the top of their game…

In my opinion, the design of the SP3 almost feels like someone in the design team was influenced by your past videos as far as bringing back design features that made Ferrari unique/striking/beautiful and still functional. Also, wondering if your could make a video about your thoughts on the DeTomaso P72?

Still looks a great car & like you I would love one but you're right, needed finessing or an editor to come in at the end and go OK I get where you're going now lets make it look like a Ferrari road car.

It looks like the windscreen consists of 3 separate pieces mounted so close to give the impression that there's a single wrap-around piece as in the P4, where the glass probably is just plexiglass, maybe? I can see the many elements of the P4 and mainly the Pininfarina P5. The streaks the way they shaped the mid section on the front bumper. The front streaks are clearly a way to give a sense of cohesion between the front and the back. Perhaps it would've been a stronger reference to the P5 and a slightly less generic light signature if they ran a light bar from side to side in the front, as the P5 had the lights organized in a single cluster in the middle. As for the back I don't think round lights would've worked well here. By the way, I'd like to know your opinion on a prototype of around 1998, the Fioravanti F100, I think it's a great piece of design that would still look very modern today.
