Turn some auto designers loose and tell them the geography they are designing for, and watch the creativity fly. Local Motors is a website for auto design and the site regularly runs contests to challenge the designers and provide a showplace for their work.
The current contest challenge was to design a car for Hawaii. Previously some of the locations included Manhattan, Adventure, Airbase and Miami Road Race.
The Local Motors site is just loaded with friggin’ awesome automotive design. If you like cars, and you love the wild concept designs, this is a great site to spend the day.
