3rd edition (2005) – Design the Peugeot you dream of for the near future
4th edition (2007) – P.L.E.A.S.E (P for Pleasurable (to drive)isir de conduite pur par sa, L for Lively, E for Efficient, A for Accessible, S for Simple, and E for Ecological) innovate
5th edition (2008) – Imagine the Peugot in the worldwide megalopolis of tomorrow.
This year the contest saw compact designs of cars that can be reconfigured. From the theme itself megalopolis of the future, which means cities packed with millions of people, heavy traffic, and smaller spaces. That is why most of the designs in the contest are small and compact cars. The winner on this years Peugot Car Design contest was Carlos Arturo Torres Tovar from Colombia.
