Local Motors has released the final car designs for Boston. Local Motors created a challenge for design-savvy car guys to come up with a concept that reflects the image, history, and future of a city, this time the location being Boston. The entries are always of high quality, so to make the cut for the Local Car competition is high praise.
Other competition designers vote and comment, and this year their collective input led to Mihai Pa Mihai Panaitescu's win. Mihai is also the designer who won top prize in last year’s Peugeot design competition.
