Atari challenges gamers to design their perfect car
Legendary video game firm Atari is celebrating its latest driving simulator with its 'Test Drive Unlimited - Be a Car Designer' sweepstakes. The contest challenges car buffs, gamers, designers and artists to create their own dream car.
The prize? The winner will receive $2,500, and their design will be incorporated into the game as "a fully functioning 3D vehicle."
Test Drive Unlimited goes on sale this September for the Microsoft Xbox 360 and Windows-based computers. Learn more by checking out TDU's flash-heavy microsite here.

"Legendary video game firm Atari" not really, its not the same atari your refering to. On June 7 2001, Infogrames (a French video game publisher) began using the 'ATARI' name for their products and operations in the USA and Canada.
They are far from legendary

gary,
lighten up, pal
mehdi,
i forgot abou that; thanks for reminding me (and possibly others)
now i think it's an awesome idea. i would love to be some regular joe who gets to say i desgined a dope looking car that got put in a video game. that's kinda awesome, especially if you're a young designer looking for something to say about yourself.
