2015: Showcase of Selected Entrants

For the 2015 Michelin Challenge Design, participants were asked to design vehicles that elicit pure driving pleasure. The ‘Drive Your Passion‘ framework challenged designers to choose an iconic road, such as Khardung Pass (India), Highway 1 or Rubicon Trail (California), Ruta 40 (Argentina), Stelvio Pass (Italy), or Karakoram Highway (China) – and create a vehicle best suited for and adventure along that path.
