Designer Frank Stephenson regularly enriches and educates us with subjects around aesthetics and automotive design
Today he goes over three greatest designs, of one of the most iconic car brands in history, Jaguar
According to Frank, there are three pillars that a brand's design ethos is built upon
They are Agile & Athletic, Intimidating yet Un-aggressive, and Essentialism. The Jaguar brand certainly carries these elements in the way that their cars are designed are engineered to this day
First on his list was the iconic D-Type, the long nose one to be more specific
The D-Type was in fact an evolution of the C-Type
Both cars have a rich their history in racing and the D-Type has also won Le-Mans in the mid-50s
While the fin was a functional aerodynamic element, it transformed the car into one of the most iconic shapes in automotive history
Next Frank touches upon the XK120
The OTS model to be more specific was, i.e the roadster. This car had elements of art-deco design, considering it came out in the early 50s
The strong haunces, especially around the cover rear wheel and the split chrome windscreen are some of Frank's favourite design elements
The third and final car on his list is the Jaguar MK2 sedan
The MK2 was a getaway car and marries athleticism and sportiness with grace an elegance
