After the Flux car design project was awarded winner of the 4th edition of Peugeot’s Design Contest, the team at Peugeot’s Style Center began creating a full scale model of the winning project, in close relationship with its author, Mihaп Panaоtescu.

In addition, the project is in the process of being crafted virtually for inclusion in “Project Gotham Racing 4,” the racing game developed by Bizarre Creations exclusively for Microsoft®‘s Xbox 360™ video game and entertainment system.

The Flux project won after a selection period, which inspired the creation of 4,029 projects that came from 113 countries. The projects were posted on the website www.peugeot-concours-design.com between September and December 2006.

Beginning in March, the Flux project will be replicated to full scale and presented in Peugeot’s booth for the next Frankfurt Auto show in September 2007. Starting in March is essential since it allows the teams in Peugeot’s Style Center and Microsoft Game Studios to capture the project and have a design that is true to the author’s vision and spirit, in terms of realistic handling and driving sensations.

“Project Gotham Racing 4” is an exclusive Xbox 360 title and will be the latest installment from Bizarre Creations’ beloved racing franchise.

“We are excited to work with Peugeot in helping to visualize the future of Peugeot vehicle design. The Flux is a perfect fit for PGR4,” said Martyn Chudley, Managing Director of Bizarre Creations. “We were impressed with the innovative and the extreme car designs submitted; We hope that Mihai Panaitescu will be excited when he sees The Flux faithfully created on the Xbox 360. We look forward to adding a lot of ‘Gotham’ to its chassis!”

First Drive: 2007 Honda Civic GX

Previews Greenie spendthrifts wanted: A heavier, slower Civic with a smaller trunk. Oh, yeah, and it costs 50 percent more. Never mind that we in Michigan are just emerging from our igloos after a long cold winter. The world is heating up, the ice caps are melting, and when that melt is complete, we’ll all be living high in the mountains in houses on stilts to stay dry. Forty days and 40 nights the waters will rage, and when the ice caps refreeze, we’ll all be fighting over who called first dibs on those last two pigs for our celebratory barbecues, since the unicorns were already eaten by sharks. There are people who would argue that that sinister little creation, the automobile, is responsible for it all. We blame Al Gore, China, sweatshops, and greenie celebrities who flit about in private jets. Those who want to make a difference drive hybrids, while those who researched their decision drive diesels. Those who are truly enlightened and want to make a difference, however, seek someth...
