Frank Stephenson appointed as Head of Design in Mclaren


Frank Stephenson. Who? Well he might not be as famous as Walter De Silva or Gordon Murray, but his creations are much much more memorable. The resurrection of the MINI (while at BMW), Fiat 500 and the very recent Alfa Romeo MiTo, were all penned under his care during his tenure as Head of Alfa Romeo's Centro Stile.

Frank joined Mclaren as Head of Design after Fiat favored Lorenzo Ramaciotti from Pininfarina.

Joining Mclaren, thou also a high profile manufacturer, we doubt we could see as many creation from Frank as compared to his former task at Fiat Group.
