Page 1 of 1 For the third edition of the Peugeot Design Competition, enthusiasts of automotive styling from all over the world were invited to design the Peugeot of their dreams for the near future. After the future of 2020 and retro-futurism, participants this year were asked to express their vision of the Peugeot they would like to drive. A Portuguese designer, André Costa, won the competition with his project the Moovie, an agile and environmentally-friendly city car. At the last Geneva Motor Show, André Costa was awarded the "La Griffe" trophy by Frédéric Saint-Geours, the Chief Executive of Automobiles Peugeot.
But it is at the Frankfurt Motor Show that the competition's most emblematic prize is unveiled on the Marque's stand, in the form of a scale 1 concept car, built in accordance with the winning project. Not forgetting a new feature of this third edition: the mass production of the winning project in the form of a... 1/43 scale miniature.
This now traditional event offered by Peugeot to the community of designers has met with real success and last year set a new record for the number of entries it attracted. Indeed, with 3,800 projects registered on the www.peugeot-concours-design.com site, the number of entries was up by 36 % compared to the 2002 event.The competition also confirmed its international credentials with 2,600 designers from 107 countries, against 90 for the previous edition.
