Contour Enthusiasts Group Archives Forums General Pics and Videos Peugeot Sports Coupe

This is the finished car I submitted to Peugeot for thier design contest. The idea was to design a "retro-futuristic car" I took cues from all of the 2 and 3 series of Peugeot's past but tried to remain distinct at the same time. I did not want to rip off the styling from another car. This is what I came up with.

Please don't post telling me what other cars it looks like, I hate that. I would love any opinion good or bad, but when you mention another car you think it looks like it pisses me right off.







The winner of the contest gets 5000 Euros and a trip to the Frankfurt show, but last year's winner was also built as a one off concept which is much more important to me. Money is nice but that would be even better. Anyways, let me know what you think and wish me luck.

Looks very cool, and as you said retro, yet modern/futuristic.

The only thing I would change is the tail lights, too skinny for me, maybe a bit wider and pronounced, buy hey, its your design.

Best of luck, a real original looking design.

That looks really good! I wish that I had the talent you have, hopefully a few years in college will help with that. I like he headlights, especially how they don't break up the body, that's one of the things I first look at when I look at a car. I'm not much of a fan of the rear end, I think it's just the curve in it, it reminds me of grimlin(no offense to your drawing). That's just my opinion, but other than the back I like the car a lot. Good luck in the competition, if you win do they give you a prototype of the car too?

No, and it's not guaranteed that it gets built either. I'm just hoping it does base on last year's being built. If it does it will probably be a shell and won't have running gear or anything like that. I'd just like to see it that's all.

FYI, the car is a small two seater about equal in size to an RX7, and it is a hatchback. It may look a little strange at first but this is Peugeot were talking about here.

Here are some of the cars I used as influences on mine:

Nice job Monkey!! I love the grille and how the wheels are pushed out to the corners in those nice big fenders. Nice retro.

Good luck,

Chris

Definitely a beautiful job, not a fan of the rear end..but i'd hit it

I think thta your talent as a photshop car creator has expanded to excellence. I have, as have the rest of the cotour.org user, watch you grow into what i would call a proffessional. We need to get you working for ford to bring the contour abck into production. When i looked at eh side profile i was a little weary but as i scanned down the page at the other images, weariness turned into astonishment. I have one small critique and it may just be me: in the side profile teh rear bumper seems to start two high behind the rear wheel. In other profiels it comes off seemless, but in the side profile it appears to be abnormal. anyways thats my two cents, good luck with the contest where pullin for you.

Nice work! Wish I could be productive...

You have some serious talent. I hope you win...this could lead you to a job as a designer. Only thing I noticed missing was a place for the license plate. I love the headlights and fenders. Great idea using some ideas from their past cars. Best of luck to you. BTW if you win the trip to Frankfurt you gotta take me

Wow... I am EXTREMELY impressed... GREAT design. Now, my .02, b/c you asked... I would stretch the headlights a bit and pull them a little higher so they run in line with the grille and take away some of the heft of the fenders... they look too bulky for the swept look of the rest of the car. The other thing, is it needs more rear end presence. I like the taillights, i think the minimalism is good, but what kills it is the overwhelming expanse of white... i think some sort of center spanning piece... a chrome trim piece, mid mount brake light, just something to break the continuity through the middle of the rear. Then, i think it would be damn near perfect! Congratulations!!
