Plastics Car Design Contest Winner

David Lucas, a third year industrial design student at Wayne State University, is the winner of the 2008 SABIC Innovative Plastics Car Design Contest U.S.

SABIC Innovative Plastics announced that David Lucas, industrial design student at Wayne State University in Detroit, Mich., USA, is the winner of the 2008 SABIC Innovative Plastics Car Design Contest - U.S.

The local competition, based on the Car Design News Contest 2008 design brief, challenged U.S. student designers to create a 3D virtual model of a “green-connected” urban vehicle for the Millenniumite generation (people born in 2000) who will lead international lives, have “green” values, and expect connectivity to the virtual world. Lucas designed a futuristic vehicle called the Zenkeri.

The Zenkeri was inspired by the lotus flower and through the use of a variety of high performance plastics offered by SABIC Innovative Plastics, the Zenkeri maintains environmental consciousness and space efficiency, while possessing a sharp and sporty aesthetic feel.

In addition to Lucas, awards were also presented to three other Wayne State University students and two students from Lawrence Technological University in Southfield, Mich.
