Fourth Peugeot Design Competition - remarkable source of automotive ideas

Peugeot Moodif

Canadian designer Iliya Bridan’s Peugeot Moodif is very different to anything we’ve seen before. Its main design element is the large rubber tube-like center shaft which can both steer the vehicle and change the wheelbase (by a whopping 88 cm) so it can be parked easily in town, yet have stability on the open road.

Peugeot Ridon

Korean designer Hyung_Sub Shin has incorporated the design elements of an open wheel race car with futuristic aerodynamics and suspension to create the Ridon - a single-seat electric roadster designed to be driven fast. The four wheels are connected to the body through four rotating axles which allow the car to bank and adapt to differing road conditions. There’s also a completely new and computer- game inspired user-interface. The vehicle accelerates when the steering lever is pulled and it stops if the lever is pushed forwards. To make turns just tilt the lever to the direction you want to steer.

Peugeot Zippy

Georgian designer Vladimer Kobakhidze started the Zippy project with a “chair shape, in which humans will feel comfortable and free”. After this he accorded aerodynamic form to the form of the chair. Interesting, simple and ecologically sound, Vladimer envisages the Zippy will be powered by a motorcycle engine.
