So how about we call Stephenson’s Frankenstein the ‘Lampadati Roccafranca’? Frank Stephenson’s GTA V Frankenstein car in all its glory. If it was going to be in the game as an Italian car, Maserati’s GTA equivalent is Lampadati, which also happens to be the same brand that houses other Italian cars like Lancia, Alfa Romeo and De Tomaso. Perhaps, then, the creation should have an Italian-ised version of the name since it’s based predominantly on Italian supercars perhaps the Roccafranca would be a good name? In the GTA world however, there is a pre-existing car that already plays on the Frankenstein name, a ratrod released during the Halloween 2015 event called the Fränken Stange.
Stephenson dubbed the car the ‘Frankenstein’ as a play on his name and the fact he esentially Frankenstein’d five of his own designs. Combine the profile and roof vent of the Maserati MC12, the front bumper of the Ferrari F430, the intake of the McLaren MP4-12C, the roof wings of the Ford Escort RS Cosworth and the incredible rear end of the Ferrari FXX, and you have yourself a custom car for GTA made by one of the greatest car designers ever.
