Peugeot have announced the winning design for their fifth design competition, this year the brief requesting a vehicle undoubtedly Peugeot for the megacities of the future.

The first prize of 10,000 Euros and the accompanying trophy were presented to 25-year old Columbian designer Carlos Arturo Torres Tovar at a ceremony at the Paris Motor Show. His victorious entry, the Design Study 'RD', topped the polls with internet voters as highly as it impressed judges.

Following in second place came Turkish designer Emre Yazici with his rendition 'ego', ahead of Chinese entrant Lou Ke's 'OXO'. Also commended was Onur Güvenc from Germany with 'Rugir', which made it to the final round.

The 'RD' will now take shape as a 1:1 scale design study to be shown at April's Shanghai Motor Show 2009, bringing this year's competition appropriately back to the country where things kicked off earlier this year.

Not sure how it works, or performs, or it's purpose but as a big fan of innovation and creative thinking, I like it. Too bad it'll never make it beyond an idea.

They will build a concept car using that design, as it says in the article.. Not sure if it will be a functioning vehicle or just a static object,though.

this is just stupid and ugly, there were probably some decent looking 'cars' that could actually make it into production but peugeot had to pick the stupid ugly one...

This is counterproductive; the very last thing the world needs right now.

I wonder who judged...
