[@einautofan6685]

300SLR Uhlenhaut Coupe is by far the most beautiful Mercedes road car! After that... (Long Gap) the last C111 Prototype that looks like a production car, my last pick is the first CLS because it brought back 4 Door Coupe Limousines!😉

I always loved cars but I never knew how to express the overall feeling and emotion their designs gave me. Listening to you sharing your experience and personnal likings in design really took me on another level in car contemplation. Paying attention to every lines, how they meet, fade away, the importance of proportions, ... As a mechanical engineer's point of view, I always had utility and optimization in mind (especially when it comes to racing cars), but esthetic, elegance and beauty is what truly gives to cars their attractiveness. You made me love even more what was the love of my life. For that, thanks Frank.

[@FrankStephensondesign]

I thank you J! 👍

[@AMGmachine]

As a child, I fell in love with the early 2000s design language of Mercedes-Benz when I first saw the F200 Imagination. It still holds a special place in my heart.

[@PyleHD]

Looking at the past 30 years, 190 (regular, as I think evo is a bit over the top) and w210 E class really represent mercedes benz in it's essence. Suprised they didn't get a mention. Cheers

[@Lintary]

Love the note on the vents, if there is one thing that will always annoy me it is design without purpose, if you need a vent, design one in, if you don't than don't have one. The best design comes from having to work with limitations it makes a great designer think outside of the known boxes.

[@philithegamer8265]

Name of the music played in the video?

[@geoffk777]

The Mercedes 300SE of the early 1970's is a real classic. The convertibles are especially pretty. The interiors are just as nice as the outside. These have gotten enormously valuable lately on the classic market.

[@pingyuhee]

Frank has always done a good job in transforming car design language into verbal language. That helps me a lot in explaining myself how I feel when I look at a particular design. Really love your videos!

Great video Frank I’m a recent subscriber and love the channel. I love Benz coupes and convertibles so my top 3 picks would be the 300 SL roadster (W198), the 280 SE 3.5 litre coupe (W111) and the 560 SEC (C126). The latter particularly is a timeless classic which I’d love to own some day since the former 2 are just a touch out of my price range! Cheers

[@jonnyz37gjbm]

The SLR was his #1 (I know you mean the Mercedes vs McLaren, can’t say I agree with that choice). What modern BMW do you think should have been there? The last good one in my opinion was the E46 which he did mention.

[@SuperAsdfgfdsa]

@@jonnyz37gjbm yeah, i know the SLR McLaren is kinda debatable. but i really like the SLS with the gullwing doors. and with bmw, i know it is also highly debatable but i think the i8.

[@jonnyz37gjbm]

@@SuperAsdfgfdsa oh yeah. I love the i8. I’m not sure if it ruins it or makes it even better, but someone pointed out one time that the rear of the i8 looked like it was giving birth to a Porsche 911. I def like the SLS, and don’t dislike the SLR-McLaren (except for the turbine wheels). I just like a bunch of other Benzes a lot more. Seeing as they built the first car, there’s a lot of history to choose from. I was personally surprised at the mention of the G-Wagon.

[@SuperAsdfgfdsa]

@@jonnyz37gjbm agree, the G-Wagon was a suprise for sure. but with a company with like 50 models and variants of them there must be something good :D The birth of the 911 in the i8 yeah, hard to unsee if you ever saw it. Also and good BMW would be the Z8 the SLR turbine wheels yeah give or take. but i think the SLR stirling moss is the closest you can get to an modern SLR uhlenhaut. such pitty that it came out in the middle of an economic crysis so it fell under the radar fast.

[@AMG-BENZ-1]

As an owner of a 2017 AMG GT-S and a 2021 CLA 45S, I would certainly like to hear about your opinion on the current design philosophy at AMG. Specifically the commonality in front end design that is replicated in most of their sedans. I always thought (and still do) that Mercedes designs tend to pass the test of time very well.

[@lindaoffenbach]

Fantastic series. Thank you so much. I just love aesthetics and design. My personal all-time favourites from M B are the R107 and subsequently, the W116. That distinctive very different design language, and the cars themselves were mind-boggling groundbraking in 1971 and '72, far ahead of their time on many aspects. So much so that they still hold up very well today. Owning a R107 in immaculate condition remains a personal dream. It is a real pleasure learning about your content :) Again, Thank you.

Hi Frank! Great breakdown. Totally agree with you on the current S class. I personally like the juxtaposition b/w the simple lines of the rear & slightly more technical aspects of the front. On a wholly unrelated note, any chance of you reviewing the "controversial" design of the GR Supra?

[@apexqc04]

Oh that S-class coupe is sooo nice. It has been a favourite for a while. And before that the CL class. Also like the E55 Wagon, and SL55 from 15 years or so back.

[@JaspreetSingh-wm3rz]

“Everyone looks like they belong to one family“… couldn’t agree more on that one Frank.

[@TheLuisg92]

Since I am not a designer, I don’t have to be objective on my 3 favorite designs from Mercedes Benz. I’d probably need a top 20 to fit all the MB that I like, but these are my favorite: 1. W123: There is no other car in the company’s history that represents the values of the brand better. The design is functional above all, yet elegant and with an air of unquestionable quality and superiority but without being in your face. If you look a graphic definition of a Mercedes Benz, this is what comes up. (BTW, I own a W123, so this opinion may be biased) 2. 300SL gullwing and roadster: Gorgeous cars, it doesn’t matter whether is the coupe with its famous doors or the roadster with its powerful and opulent silhouette, they looked like nothing else in the road or racetrack at the time. One of those rare cases in which following the function made the shape impossibly beautiful. 3. W126: It may not be striking at first glance, but it has never failed to get attention and cause good impressions since it debuted in 1979. By the time it was discontinued in 91, it still looked fresh and better than most cars from 90s. It simply is timeless and I always like simple and brilliant designs that never expire. And my honorable mentions go to: The SLR Mclaren (simply impressive), W124 (timeless), W220 (A return to form), W108/109 (Elegant), W100 (Sinister opulence) and 500/540K (Prewar excess at its finest)

[@epicon6]

Yeeesss!! You included the S-Class Coupe!! To me it's the most beautiful car ever made both in exterior and interior. And the S65 Coupe comes with a V12. The pre-facelift is much more beautiful to me than the panamericana grille facelift. I really enjoyed your other picks too. My favorite 3 Mercedes are: 1. AMG S65 Coupe (2014-2017) 2. AMG S65L (2014-2020) Both original and facelift versions. 3. Mercedes-Maybach S650 (2019-2021)

[@bryanking1428]

Loved your picks, really great insights and I learned a lot. I absolutely loved that you singled out the S Class coupe, as that is certainly my favorite modern Mercedes also. I'm not too fond of the way they are going currently, the smaller lights, with narrow angles etc. They just don't fit well with what I expect a Mercedes to be but I'm sure in time they will find their feet again...

[@nikolaikrustev1159]

My top 3 : 1. The 60s W111 coupe - low slung and timelessly elegant with exquisite detailing; 2. The 540k roadster from the 30s; 3. Their whole 80s range was exemplary - from the W124 to SL

[@coolcat23]

I couldn't agree more with you about the headlights of the S-Class Coupé. Very elegant and timeless car design overall, but the lines of the headlight you mentioned spoil it for me. I wonder what your opinion is of the 2009 CLK (W209). The rear end deserves better light lines, but the front with the overlapping oval headlights is so classically beautiful, it has no match in the newer Mercedes designs, AFAIC.

[@noahwou6304]

[@AlienatedNortherner]

Mr Stephenson, there are so many superb designs in the Mercedes-Benz back catalogue, that I struggle to limit myself to thirty, let alone three! I'm especially impressed by Bruno Sacco's early period, when the company still adhered to the now-vanished Daimler-Benz constellation of values. So: W124 Estate/Station Wagon, R129 SL, and my personal favourite, W201 190. All masterpieces, in my opinion.

[@agoatwithnonamd]

Theyve made so many great cars over the years... I personally LOVED the latest S Coupe and im also a sucker for the W111 Coupe

[@T-DawgCampbell]

I was surprised that we share the same opinion on the S Coupé. Extremely beautiful design for modern standards. My toplist would be: -W123 Coupé (C123) in my opinion the most beautiful Mercedes Coupé design -W126 SEC this car makes me speechles everytime i see one -W201 (190) had two of them and this is still the best car i can think of. It is so elegant, aggressive, reliable, fun to drive… would buy this beauty everytime again

[@leissoo1]

I completely agree with all your selected cars. When the new S-coupe was launched I actually said that it was the most beautiful car currently on sale and it should be forbidden to sell it to random people who doesn't understand how gorgeous it is.

[@johnbates606]

I like the Mercedes W212 design from 2010 to 2015. I love the ponton based que lines on the side and the frontal design where with the dual headlights. I know it sounds stupid but it’s elegant quiet and just does it for me.

[@kristijanmalus48]

Great video and chanel. What do you think about MB e-coupe w213?

[@richowdhury8249]

[@s.argirov]

I'm a BWM fan, but when the S coupe came out, I was in love in this car. Beautiful design and magnificent V8 sound. Before the new 8th series (the 2 door version), BMW didn't have a match for this car.

[@alexmartinez280]

The SLS Coupé would be my modern MB pick. Love the car and the application of its design just grows as it ages. One of the few modern MB cars that is unique and would be an event to own through out any period of time. The AMG GT-S is another stunner that can be included in all the things I’ve said about the SLS. Two cars I’d love to own as a big BMW fan (pre-2012). I wish BMWs growing relationship with Alpina will lead to similar models. Competition brings out the best and Alpina will free up BMW M to do projects of chassis of their own. That’s how I see BMW coming back to lead the industry in the future. How and why they did not put the 3.0CSL Hommage R into production is question that will always leave my scratching my head.

Love your videos Frank! Very informative and professional! I cannot wait until you do a video on Audi's three greatest designs. I drive an Audi A5 8F Cabriolet S-Line with the RS grill (because it is just completed the appearance of the car so well) and bought it for its beauty. I would love to hear what you think about this car and the work of Walter de Silva in general.

I jumped when your last pick was the S Coupe 😂 Got so excited, loved it since i saw it for the first time in 2013. I was sooo unsure if you would pick it, haha but you did

[@zubayrbhyat3998]

I learn so much about cars through your videos :D

[@trippydrew8492]
