peugeot leon

[schizo]

here's the story.....
actually this was my entry for peugeot design contest 2006 back in...november/december 2006 with theme: p.l.e.a.s.e

so, i made this design, a unique design with single axis, so it can have dynamic wheelbase and height...and particularly: feline looks like peugeot's identity...imagine a cat with its four legs...

the problem was: i missed the deadline!
damn...i cursed myself repeatedly because i mistakenly read the timeline...i'm in indonesia and the deadline was in france time...how come i was soooo stupid converting the time..

oh well, life must go on
so i thought i will keep this design and will redesign the outer look for another / next design contest..

time passing by, and some days ago i click a link from my friend, about car design in 2057 hold in L.A this november..
and know what? Nissan uses the same concept with my concept!
different details tho' but same single axis concept...they name it Nissan OneOne..

I don't say they steal this concept, because I've never published my design until now...I just shocked because I can't keep my concept anylonger..
but for a good things, i just know that great minds are alike...

so...here it is, no purpose keep it anylonger for next design contest...
peugeot leon, named after a cat line...i was close named it puma, but i can't...you know why

I like it. Very unusual.

Original Concept, in particular I like so much the "open door style" :-)

Great Job, it's shame that you can't post it for the contest...
