In 2001 Peugeot introduced the radical Peugeot Moonster Concept. The talents behind this project were found via an internet design competition. People were asked to submit design sketches via the French Auto Maker’s website. The designs were narrowed down from 750 to 50. An online vote was then cast to find out which design users / enthusiasts found the most appealing. Marko Lukovic (from Yugoslavia) won with this design. The Peugeot Moonster Concept was introduced at the Frankfurt Auto Show. The car’s design was presented in fluid form. No engine, transmission or suspension systems were in place. The Peugeot Moonster Concept was hand-formed from sheet aluminum and polished to perfection. This resulted in the most reflective car to date. All praise to Peugeot for the type of competition they set up. Peugeot handed over complete creative feedom to the designer and also embraced the internet to seek out talented designs. Quite impressive if you ask me. This will probably not be built or seen on roads in South Africa, but a man can still dream.
