Fueled by imagination, the Peugeot Moovie is a stunning design from 23-year-old Portuguese designer André Costa – the product of the first major concept car design contest held online. 

The Peugeot Design Contest 2007 winner said he specifically wanted to move away from the fringe of mass production models. And that he did, by replacing the conventional four-wheeled car with two hubless wheels that double up in steering and driving.

Independently driven by an electric motor, the wheels are also independent on its own axis for high maneuverability. The two small additional front wheels act as stabilizers. Acknowledging future concerns, the electric car is environmentally friendly and compact, measuring 2.3 meters (7.6 ft) wide and 1.5 meters (4.9 ft) high.

Bubble-like with more glass than metal to its frame, the car’s forward sliding doors scream futuristic. Its interior follows through on modern flow with seats and dashboard of minimalist designs.

The Peugeot Moovie concept car has already made international impact at both the Frankfurt and Geneva Motor Show, making the future of this young man, who hasn't even finished college yet very bright indeed.
