2008 Peugeot Design Competition Imagine a Peugeot for the megalopolis of tomorrow

The fifth Peugeot Design Competition explores new dimensions.


The theme is in keeping with tomorrow’s cities

Young designers are invited to imagine a Peugeot for the megalopolis of tomorrow. This concept car will be designed for use in the centre of the great urban cities of the future, while embracing the key values of the 21st century.

While bearing the mark of Peugeot’s stylistic codes, projects must integrate the four dimensions specific to this design competition: environmental friendliness, social harmony, interactive mobility and economic efficiency.
