Cars Of The Future: Designers Battle It Out January 3, 2007
Read more Gadgets
The Fourth Peugeot Design Competition has just kicked off and people are being invited to choose what they think should make it to the final.
The variety of concept cars on offer is quite stunning and there are 30 to choose from, out of 4,000 submissions. I’m quite partial to the ground hugging E-Motion above although I still can’t see me getting more than 30 metres out of my driveway before crappy local roads ripped that undercarriage right off.
In 2005, the cute and cuddly Moovie (see it after the jump) clinched the title so it will be interesting to see if eco-friendly two-seaters, sports cars or family-oriented Transformer-type cars will steal the show.
Practicality is not really a limiting factor for many of these designs and despite the originality, we’ll be lucky to see any of these of in production before we start queuing for our pensions. Still, it’s good to dream. Jump now to see some shots of last year’s winner. -Martin Lynch

I love how everything futuristic these days is shiny, it really is pretty.
I can't wait till they start producing cars that are good looking without making them expensive.
All of the lower end cars seem so unattractive, how hard can it be?
Instead of making all these concept cars shiney, sleek, and powerful how about we come up with a concept car that utilizes alternative power sources or engines that are more fuel efficient?
That E-motion car in the main photo is designed for using an electric motor, as many are of this year's entries.

what up azimul and what car do want tol get when you pass your driving lesson
I think it would be pretty cool if they made cars that you don't have to reverse in. Lately, in one of my Design classes, our teacher asked us to draw unigue future car, and I came up with the idea of having a car that you don't reverse in. Instead of reversing you simply spin around in your car seat after pressing a button and taking the steering wheel and you have a dash board behind you as well. It would make reversing so much easier, and less dangerous, because there would be no need for reversing.
wen is this car gonna come out
that second one looks a bit wierd how do you move it imagen evrebody driveing them!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ya that car lookes pretty messed and i wouldnt buy it, and how the f*ck does it work?
convience for midgets lol the fiberglass is cool as well as the design but not very usable...
where do the kids sit? a two seater is lame.. and where can you put the bump????not realy made for the modern family .. or the modern teen ...
eww... all of them are uglier than another one. i would never pay for them
eww... all of them are uglier than another one. i would never pay for them
if you think that the cars are ugly you are wrong,think again
this car is hot and i have no mom
That is definatly not a chev
anyone wanna know how this car works?
this piece of shit is rolls down hills, and kill the driver.!!!!
everyone happy? :-)
what are u thinkin the ball car is crap and no one will buy it. it looks like a flattened ball and u probbably gonnna make a sport version and it will look crap and u wont be able to drive it over bumps and speed bumps u will have to make it have graet suspension and it will last a month the most it will probably rot and the engine will go o-30 in 5.9 seconds.

I absolutly love these cars. I think that they are amazing works of art and skill. This is going to sound really dumb of me....but if there is anyone on here who would enjoy to help me learn a little more about cars I would be VERY greatful! I personally dont even know what types of cars these are, but they make me feel so good, I would really like to find out! Here is my e-mail address, my name is Melody.
Thanks.

how the fuck do u drive that car
first of all the price is 12.8 million. I wanted to buy one. So i went to wall mart and looked in the school supply area for pencil sharpeners. sadly they dident have one i could sleep in. so i went to the car dealer ship and asked for a tire. they said what size . i Said one that i could reproduce in. They also said i was out of luck. so i got pissed off. after my menicle rage that went on for about 2 seconds. I went to the internet. I looked it up and found out it was a car that 2 peaple are needed. It goes as fast as the outher person can push. Of course a hill is needed and also remember that there are no breaks. so there isent any real problem with the car. Heck if a terrost made it little bigger he could role rite into he wighthouse.
Yer theese cars are pretty cool but the point is that there not made for families they are made for speed and power
the bottom car has a peugeot badge on it, so it will be the peugeot of the future
but i know that car makers will make concept family cars but my opinion is that they look cool and people should just admire them instead of slagging other peoples ideas off
i love these cars, but are they safe??? whats the crash rate??
2peaple-isent-terrost-rite-wighthouse

Cool car
I can't wait for the for the future those cars are asome.
wow, i wonder what year there gonna come out 2018? 2022? ayone know
Which one are you people going ga-ga for? I like the stylings of both the long low-rider and the bubble car. The reality is neither of these will ever make it to market. Not unless a private car company that seeks to fill niche markets makes it. The look of all "futuristic" cars is governed by the climate in which the designer was raised and by the terms of the sketch competition.
Its no surprise that future cars from fifty years ago had many of the same stylings of regular cars of their era. Few people have been able to see beyond the ordianry to make truly impressive looking automobiles or other motor craft.
The low-rider would never stand a hance against speed bumps or the slightest imperfection in the road. The same is true for the little bubble car. Visibility and safety do not appear to be important to the sketch artists who come up with these designs.
How are they powered? How do you steer with wheels tht only spin? I see no way for these to provide directional control.
this will never work these vehicles would never ever work, you would have to lift them at least to a hight that wouldnt scrape the ground on a pebble. no driveway abilities, no parking lots, only cirtain stores, where the ground doesnt rais up and inch or you might get high centered. sincerely... peace out
I like the circle car but there is no wheelss will it spin? people can get really dizzy!
whoever says this resembles a bugatti veyron is mentally retarded it looks nothing like a bugatti.. it is a nice car or plane or whatever it supposed to be lol
hey shyful islam why wud u make a car were the seats turn y not make a car were it moves sideways not just back n front ?????
i hope this car comes out
in the future when? 100 years?..we all die by them
who wants to drive in a ball?
Peugeot Moove. Really its the name.
How does it drive??? And where are the wheels????
the future car is really amazing.How i wish i could have such a vechile
That is a sweet ride I cant wait til my daddy see this it is all mine OR ELSE!!!!!!!!
