The Crowd Sourcing Competition [Round 49]


CSC 49 - A Risky Bet

Summary

1972, 22 years have passed since the foundation of Fitz, a company specialized in building off road light and mid utility vehicles. The brand earned a solid reputation for offering reliable and capable trucks, and it’s founder, Gregorio Fitz was really proud of it. During this time, his son Enrique joined the directive board, bringing into the company big ideas: he wants the brand to be diversified into new segments, taking advantage of the brand’s reputation, and he knows that bringing a new, out-of-the-box concept of an urban family car.
But his father has some serious doubts. Fitz has relied on traditional design and mechanics to thrive in the utilitarian market; bringing a small car to it’s lineup wouldn’t make sense for the clients, and it would undermine the brand’s hard earned reputation.
To prove that his idea can work out fine, he decides to create a ready-for-production concept car to be shown at the next International Auto Show, and he’s asking for desing proposals for this concept


Fitz is looking for a small, innovative 4-door car/5-door hatchback, which keeps some of the traditional brand’s design, while being much more refined. It has to look like a Fitz, but not look like a plain truck
