Project Gotham Racing 4: The Flux Wins Peugeot Design Contest

The Flux car design by Mihai Panaitescu is the winner of the 4th edition of Peugeot’s Design Contest, so a full scale model of the concept car is in the works at Peugeot’s Style Center, while Bizarre Creations will include it on the list of cars present in Project Gotham Racing 4.

The Flux will be made into a Full Sized Concept-Car and Integrated into Project Gotham Racing 4

A hydrogen-powered open-air concept with an integrated Xbox 360 is the winner of the online Peugeot Design Competition, the automaker has announced.

Taking the number-two spot was the omnidirectional Njooy, which is inspired by old Formula 1 racing cars. The Allscape concept took the number-three spot. It is equipped with a natural-gas-powered 2.0-liter twin-turbo V4 mated to a seven-speed gearbox.

Peugeot said the creator of the Flux, 20-year-old Mihai Panaitescu, is the youngest designer ever to win the contest. He is a Romanian design student studying in Turin. In fact, the contest was populated this year by designers just getting started in their careers. The Njooy was created by 27-year-old Wesley Saikawa from Brazil, while 29-year-old Gustavo Ferrero from Venezuela penned the Allscape.

The automaker said it received 4,029 submissions for the contest.

The Flux will be built as a full-scale model and exhibited in the fall at the Frankfurt auto show, as well as being featured in an Xbox 360 video game later this year. The panel of judges was made up of Xbox and Peugeot representatives.

What this means to you: You'll be able to play with the Flux later this year when it shows up in an Xbox video game.
