Globetrotter concept car nets student GM design internship

Globetrotter concept car


Australian ID student Harsha Ravi's Globetrotter concept car, above, won him the Australian Young Designer of the Year. The supergreen microcar is intended to be painted with solar-energy-storing nanopaint and made of carbon-neutral bioplastic (88% corn-based plastic), which Ravi calculates will knock 30% off the energy required during manufacturing. Click here to see his well-rendered concept boards and read the details of his design.

We will hopefully be seeing more of Ravi's work; he will be making his way to GM North America's design studio next year for a three-month, $50,000 internship included with the prize package.
