The brief was simple: Design a cool but reliable car for a 20-something guy named Matt, who's a recent college graduate, and just beginning his career.
It was the annual automotive glass design competition, open to sophomore transportation design students. The awards were recently presented at the Detroit Auto Show.
The top prize, a $1,500 scholarship, went to Ludwin O. Cruz, a student at Detroit's College for Creative Studies (CCS). That's his amazing creation above, look closely and you'll see the golf inspiration. The glass driver's side half of the car is, "styled to be reminiscent of a golfer's swing", and the car, "has dimples like those on a golf ball to focus the sun's energy onto solar panels beneath to power four independent wheel motors and interior electronics".
I find it quite awesome looking, in a futuristicky - JamesBondian way. It's just a concept for now, but who knows maybe one of these days we'll be driving a very cool car inspired by our favorite sport. Hope it gets good gas mileage.
Cute car, but no room for golf clubs

They said the car was designed for a 20 something guy named Matt? How about a 30 something girl named Lisa?

Not to change the subject but the SI swimsuit calendar just came out. What's the latest on the GG swimsuit blog?
ReplyDeleteThe car looks to be designed on the General Motors concept platform "the Skateboard" usuing Hydrogen fuel cell with each wheel having its own independant drive-power. This is probably one of the better designs I've seen, being an avid golfer an all I love the idea of having a car the suits my lifestyle.
