2008: Showcase of Selected Entrants

For 2008, Michelin Challenge Design asked participants to explore vehicles and design concepts that contribute to making smaller vehicles safer, particularly in urban environments. Billed as “Smaller. Safer. Better” the theme recognized that rising energy costs, urban congestion and environmental concerns contribute to increased interest in smaller vehicles, but that consumers are also hesitant to go small due to safety concerns.

From 272 registrations, the jury selected 18 renderings and 8 scale models for the Michelin Challenge Design 2008 North American International Auto Show display. Complementing the participants work were full-size models from Citroen (C-SportLounge), Dodge (Hornet), and Nissan (Effis).”
