Designers on Design: McLaren’s Frank Stephenson on Ferrari LaFerrari On day one of the 83rd annual Geneva Auto Show, I spoke with McLaren design chief Frank Stephenson on his new P1 supercar. An hour later, I ran into him at Ferrari’s busy booth where he and P1 program chief engineer Paul Mackenzie were taking a close look at the LaFerrari flagship.

Motor Trend: What are your first impressions?

Frank Stephenson: I think it’s pretty good actually. I heard all kinds of rumors and likes and dislikes…and these cars should be like that anyways. But I think it’s very nice. They’ve made a Ferrari out of it, which is good. Definitely moving on from the Enzo. This looks like a real Ferrari! I do like it…beautiful sculpture…
