The Grit:
The FMC (Floyd Motor Co) has a desire for a new wagon for 2022. The company believes the crossover craze is just a fad (like the internet, j/k), and will not take a large RWD / AWD wagon out of the lineup.
Your job, should you choose to take it on, is to design a new beautiful shell for FMC’s full-size wagon pride, the Gannet.
Typically, the Gannet trim line ranges from a standard base model, all the way to fire-breathing AWD Nurburgring monsters, with HP from 150 up to over 400. Likewise, the Gannet line sports different front and rear fascias for the more sporty models, which are the show off / halo cars for the line. Think 535xi or AMG Merc.
This competition will be purely an aesthetic one. The challenge will be to design the new 2022 Gannet, preferably a more sporting model. This will be a full-size to large midsize wagon, something comfortable for 5 (or 7, back when the 3rd row faced rearward!)
Engineering will not be judged, as long as it makes sense. No race parts, no carbon fiber tub, etc. Interior - I’d like to see them to better understand the styling intent, but I will not require it. Still, if you’re shy of making one, consider this competition an excuse to try one out. It doesn’t have to be pixel-perfect, just get the jist of your design language going.
That’s it! No techpool BS, no cost considerations, other than mild common sense. Design a smoking wagon, and let’s GO!
Since there’s no rules to deliberate over, let’s run this competition from now till 12:00EST PM, next Sunday the 11th.
