The Peugeot Moonster concept was revealed at International Motor Show Germany on September 11, 2001 in Frankfurt, Germany. The car was the winner of the 1st biennial Peugeot Concours Design concept car design competition held in 2000, where the objective was to design a theoretical car for the year 2020. The Moonster was designed by 23 year old Serbian university of implied arts student Marko Lukovic, who received a cheque for 5,000 (US$5,800) as a prize for his design.[1]

Design

In the design of the Peugeot Moonster, the engine is located at wheel level. Its design is inspired by cars of 2020 and the early 1900s, as well as lunar rovers and dolphins, in which the rear spoiler is in the shape of a dolphin tail. The body of the Moonster is made from polished aluminum sheets, which were formed into curves, giving a chrome appearance to the car. The interior has four seats and an aircraft-like steering wheel.[2][3]
