From Lamborghini to Porsche to Bentley and more: Car design - where has it been and where is it going? Robert Ross and Freeman Thomas, continue their conversation about the history, and more importantly, the future, of automotive design. Robert begins by discussing Freeman's career move from Volkswagen to Ford (0:40) and the importance of keeping the feel of driving an 'analog experience' (8:14). The two men then circle back to Freeman's passion for Porsche and Freeman's R Gruppe (9:22).

Robert takes a moment to consider the Porsche legacy (23:10), before asking Freeman what three cars, with no limitations, Freeman would want (27:23).
