The winning entry in the first ever Peugeot on-line car design competition
has been unveiled in full size glory.
The work of young Yugoslav designer, Marko Lukovic, the winning Moonster
design beat some 2,000 entries submitted in the competition, called ‘Design
the Peugeot vehicle you would like to be driving in 2020’.
This ‘real life’ Moonster measures 4 metres in length and features an
aluminium body, two in-line seats and polycarbonate windows.
Launched at last year’s Paris Motor Show, the competition was designed to
attract entries from around the world, and included 139 submissions from Russia,
100 from the USA, and 74 from Columbia. All designs were submitted on-line, 50
of which were then presented on the Peugeot website for visiting surfers and
journalists to cast their votes.
"We wanted to look outside the automotive sector for design
inspiration," said Gérard Welter, style director at Automobiles
Peugeot. "Marko Lukovic is passionate about nature, comic strips and
fictional cinema, elements of which can be seen in his Moonster concept."
The life-size Moonster was created under the supervision of the Peugeot Style
Centre, and measures 4 metres long, 1.95 metres wide, 1.65 metres high, with a 3
metre wheelbase. The original design featured an engine positioned within the
wheels.
A student at the University of Applied Design in Belgrade, Mr Lukovic has
already received the first prize of 5,000 Euros, and will be presented with his
life size creation following the motor show.
