Peugeot and Microsoft begin concept car contest

Back in October, we mentioned that French car manufacturer Peugeot joined forces with Microsoft to create Xbox 206. Quite frankly, it is the same as the original Peugeot 206. They just pimped it with green stickers and Xbox 360 seats. It was boring alright but as it turned out, the two companies were just gearing up for something much, much bigger.

The French carmaker recently announced an open online contest for fans to create and select their favorite concept car design for 2007. The winner of the said contest will see his/her creation reproduced in full scale at the 2007 Frankfurt Motor Show.

More interestingly, the same car will also be digitally modelled and will included in an unreleased Xbox 360 title. While there is still no information as to what game this is, the winds are blowing in the direction of Project Gotham Racing 4.

The total number of designs sent in was at around 4,000, and Peugeot has already narrowed them down to just 30. The remaining car models will be voted on by the public until January 23 via the contest's official site (Read link below). Ten cars will be chosen and from there, the ultimate winner will be selected.

Suzuki also came up with SXbox, their own version of an X360-laden vehicle based on their model Suzuki SX4. We wonder if they also have something to do with this. Hmm...

This story sucks? This story rocks!
