Had a blast reviewing these designs from Burnout Paradise. Let me know which games have designs you think that I'd find interesting and I'll be sure to look out for them! Best, Frank

Imagine Frank working with Rockstar on designing cars for GTA 6

Thanks Frank. I was lead car designer on this project, way back in 2006. All commenters should appreciate these cars were designed in 2006, and sometimes way before that (as some are from other Burnout games). Comparison with modern cars after that date means I was ahead of my time! My favourite is one I personally designed, the Watson R25 Racer and Frank guessed correctly that I do indeed have an Automotive Design education… Go get your education kids, it gives you the chance to do cool stuff like this.

Burnout's cars and brands feels like if you mix Hot wheels with real cars They go crash vroom vroom and that's their main goal

Thank you Frank. I was the Exec Producer on Burnout Paradise, this video was insightful and brought back a lot of happy memories for me and some members of the team.

6:00 feel like the front end has a bit of Koenigsegg CCX, especially the lights.

This game is so amazing, replayed it a couple months ago and the memories from the 360 days booting up this game for the first time with the sunset and Guns n Roses playing was incredible.

Please do one for Vision GT cars in Gran Turismo 6 and Sport.

OMG I did not expect you to review the cars from my favourite game when I was a child! Thank you so much Frank, love your works!! 😁😁😁

NO FREAKING WAY MAN. Frank AND my favorite racing game ever!!???!?

What I like about the Burnout games that the cars aren't a mirror image from the real life counterparts but a representative from the country its from

This is really interesting because to me the Thunder custom is a complete mess, and the Montgomery Hyperion is a really tasteful blend of the E-Type and 240Z!

I also feel that I’m too often held back by whether I’m going to kill a pedestrian or run over a puppy.

i can imagine the guy who made the *Hyperion* sitting in a dark gloomy corner crying ... 👀

That Christopher Lambert edit had me in stitches. Make sure you pay your editor well :D

I'm not a designer, I'm not an artist, I'm not even a car guy, (I am an engineer but I make robots) I can't explain it but I love these videos! Keep up the awesome work Frank!

Do Ridge Racer cars! They have some awesome designs

I've been waiting for this one so much. Burnout's vehicles always felt well designed, not to crazy, quite realistic and cool. They could've went full GTA V and done some absolutely crazy cars when it comes to the graphics, but it seems like they decided to focus mostly on the shape and simple lines of the cars and only started doing the graphics after they were happy with the overall shape of the vehicles. Atleast that's how I feel about it, I didn't watch the video yet. I can't wait to hear Frank's opinions

This channel is the gift that keeps on giving.

Still my all-time favorite racing game to this day

You SO need to do this for BeamNG! That game is all original car designs, and they are done preety well. I would LOVE to see you cover this game!

ive noticed everytime a car comes up that CLEARLY resembles a koenigsegg/mclaren, he goes on saying its a ferrari/lambo-esque design... this makes me wonder if hes somehow contractually forbidden from using the koenigsegg or mclaren name

5:25 Frank sees Ferrari in everything :D I'd say that's a Koenigsegg CCX front + old Audi R8 rear mashup with some weird rear lights. (Upd: Huh, the guys are right, that's Noble M600.)

Next episode: "Supercar Designer reacts to NeedForSpeed Underground 2 bodykits" please The real ricer need for speed

The Tempesta and the V16 Revenge have always been my personal favorites from Paradise. I think I've seen a bit of them from time to time in my own sketches. I love sketching exotics. They have so much emotion to them, though American Muscle will always be my favorites. As for game cars to look at, I think Split Second might be an interesting one, if you haven't already.

The editing is on point on this video! I got goosebumps when the Burnout theme kicked in!

This game was part of my childhood, really cool seeing this game again

A legendary car designer reviewing a legendary game series. Only 30 seconds in and I'm LOVING THIS VIDEO!!!!

Do Split Second next Frank :D

I'd love to see what Frank could do with the car design tools that are in Automation: The Car Company Tycoon Game. It would be fun to see how he tackles designing a car from almost scratch on any of the bodies that are based on real life cars in that game, and how he'd handle designing with fixtures instead of pencil and paper.

HOLY CRAP, I WROTE A COMMENT WISHING FOR THIS! THANK YOU FRANK, I LOVE YOU!

It would be cool to see you take on designs from Split Second: Velocity! There are some really nifty designs, hidden in that game

I think you should at some point look at some of Hot Wheels original fantasy castings. Especially lately they've been doing some really good ones. But, of course, the classics like the Bone Shaker, the Deoras and the Twin Mill would be interesting as well.

I would've never thought that Frank would move on to critique cars in my favourite game, but I am so happy and excited to watch!

I loved the V16 Revenge! It has been on my heart since the Revenge days in 2005. Every time I see this car, it gives me the absolute chills and every time I used this car, I try my best to not crash and being an absolute psychopath in taking down others. This car tells me its designed to be out, looking for blood. And i can tell you, only a blood lusting driving skilled lunatic will want this car. Not some cocks with less skills and more cash to spend.

I loved this game as a kid, amazing soundtrack and mesmerizing gameplay

Ridge Racer Type 4 (though its a old game, the designs on some are so cool). 1+ for GT vision. Maybe also critique the ships and vehicles from Star Citizen, tons of effort went into every design to make it feel realistic but obviously futuristic (plus they sell for real life money in the thousands, crazy I know).

"Too often we're held back by 'is it gonna kill somebody'" lol

Burnout Paradise is such an awesome and usually forgotten game, awesome action and vehicles!

Was not expecting this video, but I couldn’t be happier. Especially since he really liked my favorite, the Watson 25 V16

the car at 5:21 actually has three more references (not sure if intentional), but the front headlights are based off Koenigsegg CCX/CCR, the front bumper (especially the middle vent design) is DEFINITELY based on an NSX, and the rear is based on a fictionalized version of a Noble M600.

Imagine Frank crashing and wrecking every real world car after he analyzes it and puts up a montage of it after reviewing it. haha lol

The Tempesta looks a lot like the Koenigsegg's before Regera especially the headlights and alloy wheel design.

Suggestions: - Vision GT Cars and Red Bull X1 from Gran Turismo 6 & Sport - Ridge Racer Type 4 - Midnight Club 2 - Flatout 2/Ultimate Carnage - Burnout 3 - Unique car models (non-stock cars) from Tokyo Xtreme Racer Zero - Wreckfest - Blacklist member cars from Need for Speed Most Wanted - Carmageddon 2

What a novel idea to look at car design in video games so much art and design like this goes by without recognition. Great idea Mr. Frank!

6:00 I was screaming koeniggsegg the whole time😂😂

Hey frank, You should do a series on how you would design new cars (your concept) how you would of designed the new m4 etc.

Frank Stephenson: This video Burnout Paradise Developers: Meh, they're just gonna crash em anyway! 🤣

The second car to me really looks a lot like a Askari KZ1, a the front looks kinda like a Ferrari 550.

Tell us your top 3 concept cars

That Burnout 2 theme song got me so nostalgic... One of the first game I got on the PS2 with Jak N Dexter and GT3. unforgettable memories

I'm surprised you didn't mention any influence from old Dodges (Charger, Challenger) on the first one. I think that's closer to it than a Chevy or Pontiac. Great video, these are always fun!

The v16 revenge is a reboot of the prototype series in burnout revenge, for which the 100% completion prize is one of these, dubbed "the revenge racer" with a game themed livery. It's one of the best looking cars in the whole franchise in my opinion, and I'd would love to see a real life iteration made.

Honestly thought the Rossolini Tempesta reminded me more of a classic Audi R8 with sound and aspects in the headlights and overall shape

The headlights on that Rossolini are lifted straight off of a Koenigsegg CCR.

I’m glad to see some people who actually worked on those cars in the comments, feels so good to see them enjoy the fact we like their work and know how to appreciate it Burnout Paradise is still to this day my all time favorite racing game, and my most favorite car from this game was the Carson GT Nighthawk, it was the pinacle of coolness

Omg yes! I absolutely love Burnout Paradise, the Tempesta is such a sexy car

I waited so much for this vid :0 thanks Frank

This was unexpected! BP! Do more games if you can!

Frank you are a legend for reviewing video game cars. The burnout series was my childhood, thank you!

I just watched your reaction to the Honda E. Thank you for saying what I've been thinking about car design for years. It's gotten WAY too busy in general. Love your critiques!

Loved the video Frank. Please consider doing a video on the cars from Just Cause 3 and 4!

Frank Stephenson and Burnout, a perfect combination! I'd love it if you reviewed more burnout series cars.

8:56 "I'm moving side to side, up and down..." 🤣🤣

Hey Frank, you ever think about doing more motorcycle critiques??? H2... Brutale 1000rr... CB1000R... R1 ... XDiavel... So many beauties out there.

So interesting to see a critique for a non-existent cars =) And there are pretty many games that have those. I can easily remember "Wreckfest", "Flatout 2", "Split Second", "Ridge Racer Unbounded", "Crash Time", "Live for speed", even a "Cars" franchise (which will be very fun) and more

This is the kind of video you never expect, but definitely love

That feeling when you finally find the last billboard and street man it took forever

U gave super in depth analysis on each design and I liked it

Had to do a double take on how fuchsia was said hehe. Great video as always, burnout paradise brings me back

nice to see some love to Burnout Paradise again. I still love playing this game!

Maybe you can check something 'ike Flatout or Trackmania in the future? Great video as always!

Arcade game + Design review = This is gonna be fun Also it's pretty nice to see a video like this about a game I've been playing a few hours ago.

Hey frank, I think theres absolutely a market to do a second part to this video, there are a lot more cars in this game. The Hunter Cavalry, Hunter Vegas, Carson Annihilator, Nakamura Si7, The hot rods, The buggy's, and so forth. Please consider doing a part 2 to this.

frank your editor's an absolute madlad

Dude your video editing is on point

You should check out some of the car designs from Watchdogs Legion.

Hey frank! Love the video! Btw one thing. The game was released in 2008-10 i dont remember so these designs have aged!

Saying a car would look better after a crash is kinda like saying to someone "you'd look better in a casket" lmao

I love the idea of this video, I always said that if I was a billionaire I'd spend my time recreating game cars into the real world. So many cool cars in GTA, Burnout, Saints Row, Sleeping Dogs, Just Cause, Cyberpunk, even The Sims 3 if money is unlimited, why not?

The editing is perfection!

I'm not really into cars, but listening to Frank dissecting car design is still super interesting.

Hey Frank! This is my first time finding your videos. I love the content. A cool fact for you, over the years “Lead Sled” has come to refer to the weight of large custom cars but originally the name came from the fact that lead was used as body filler because it was cheap and very easy to manipulate. Keep on being awesome!

I suggest either flatout or FUEL. Fuel having a whole bunch of bikes and trucks compared to the car centric flatout franchise.

I love how Frank isn't above critically evaluating what other name architects and designers might dismiss as schlock or unimportant because it's not a real product.

Loving the analysis being brought into video games as well. Especially because I don’t have access to real sports cars but I could actually see these cars and use them in game.

I've waited for this video for so long. My all time favorite video game franchise covered by one of the coolest KZfaqrs out there

Really cool series Frank. Take a look at Carmageddon. Some radical looking cars there that might be interesting to explore. Keep up the cool videos! Cheers!

5:45 - Noble M600 13:10 Monaco King Cobra mixed with Porsche 906 (and definitely some P4)

Nostalgia is real! Great video about a great game. Btw what's the music on 0:52 called?

I would love to see you actually seeing the car in game, giving it a small test drive, I think a 3D perspective can give you more insights of the cars and probably could be funny for you too.

Appreciate the effort on the video editing and like always an awesome video.

Really old game; Carmageddon. Game has a brutal dystopian future setting, where death races are legal, and the cars and attached characters reflect that, definitely inspired by the film Death Race 2000.

Man, hearing the Burnout Paradise theme (or is it Burnout 2002 Reprise) at the beginning is great

5:45 those headlights scream koenigsegg ccx to me

Great editing!! Love the content as always

First car was definitely Mopar inspired. Had the roofline body / curves of a charger, even Challenger.

Absolutely brilliant I always enjoy ur videos on the car designs in video games keep it

Please review Burnout Revenge! This review is just SO enjoyable that I love it INSTANTLY!!!

If EA decides to make another Burnout game you need to desing atleast one car for it!
