Galleries of the 2007 Peugeot Design Contest entries
Every year Peugeot holds a design challenge inviting the best and brightest automotive artists to conjure a vehicle for the future. This year's theme is "P.L.E.A.S.E. Innovate", which corresponds to six features the winning entry should exhibit: Pleasurable (to drive), Lively, Efficient, Accessible, Simple, and Ecological. This year there are 30 projects that are in the running and we've assembled them all for your perusal in high-res galleries after the jump. If you like wild concepts that have no respect for reality, then you'll be in heaven below the fold. You can also vote for your favorite concept here.
Since the whole challenge is being sponsored by the XBOX 360, the winning project will not only be on display in full scale at the 2007 Geneva Motor Show, it will also be playable in a yet-to-be-named video game for the XBOX 360.
Follow the jump to see high-resolution galleries of each entry.

Wow!! Absolutely amazing entries. The entry that really got my attention was the HYDROX concept. This Peugeot Design contest is getting better and better every year. Unbelievable talent.

My favorite has to be the LiiON Concept. A lot of the others are complete ripoffs of other concept cars or completely unrealistic.
I remember seeing a private project to make a three wheeler (2 in front one in back), but I don't know what happened to it. Would love to see the LiiON Concept win!

Great designs. Usually the design entries at the peugeot contest end up as unrealistic crap but this year not only are they great but I also see a few designs cues that could be used in real cars

kind of goofy. Looks like tehy ae going back to 1900's and the open-fendered look of the Model T. Prob Speedlite and Flux are more possible.

I think this theme was largely followed this year. Models that are too artistic end up alienating the serious driver.

I think there are some great concepts but only a very few stick to the theme, of simplicity, light weight, pleasure to drive, in my view the one's that stick to the design criterias are: Venom, Share, Flux and Ustimiki the rest dont fit with the Peugeot design queues and criterias...

I agree with some people here on that there are several really cool concept cars this year. I prefer the innovative concept of Erectus, although I have some doubts about its inside functionality. I like the "transformer" look of this car. It seems as if this car were an extension to the driver, which is not as much the case of the other concepts, where the car is still showed as an independent element.

the designs r really cool but der seems to be a real lack
of "AUTO" design in most of da cars
this competition looks more like a competition for CG rather than for cars-no exciting features in a lot of em!
simply speaking------disappointed

Many of them are excellent, no doubt; personally I liked the Allscape. I add as a comment that of another: When are hyou coming to the US? Sporty, high accelleration, low fuel consumption, HiTech cars, teach the Americans and Japanese a lesson....
