The Volkswagen design philosophy is meant to not be offensive to anybody, so that as many people as possible buy their cars, usually for practical reasons. They have had some design flourishes over the years, but these were mostly reserved for one-off concepts that lost most of their charm on the road to production.
Well, instead of moaning, you can now do something constructive about it. VW has asked anybody who thinks he or she is up to it to design a car for them. However, they’re not accepting proposals for an actual production car (that’s still down to their boring boards), but “concepts for an exciting car for a video game including video game scenario.”
The contest is even called that: “Create a cool video game car for Volkswagen!”
The closing date for the acceptance of entries is August 15. The entries will be judged by a panel of experts and three winners will be chosen and offered a six-moth internship within the group’s design department.
