2013: Showcase of Selected Entrants
| For the 2013 Michelin Challenge Design, participants were asked to develop exciting and passionate designs that employed innovative vehicle architecture solutions for weight reduction, without compromising safety or comfort. As the theme was in part inspired by the approach Ben Bowlby took in developing the Nissan DeltaWing racing car, Michelin was honored to be able to include the racing car in the Michelin Challenge Design display.Registration from 900 designers came down to 15 finalists. Our esteemed jury then selected the Top Three.The work of all fifteen finalists were displayed at the 2013 North American International Auto Show, and as part of our recognition of their talent and accomplishment, Michelin provided transportation and lodging for the Top Three to come to Detroit, Michigan, see their work displayed and meet top OEM designers and industry experts, including Mr. Bowlby. The Top Three were announced and recognized at an annual Michelin Challenge Design Reception. Along with the Top Three, Michelin was honored that several other finalists also made the trip to Detroit to participate in this celebration of design and the automotive industry.Congratulations the the 2013 Top Three: Jorge Biosca, Song Wei Teo, and Shun Liu.
