404 concours de design
Im Jahr 2002 hat Peugeot einen Deignwettbewerb "concours de design" mit dem Thema "retrofuturisme" ausgeschrieben. Folgende fantastischen Beitraege auf Basis des Peugeot 404 sind von dem Ungarischen Designer: Bognár Béla ifj eingereicht worden:
Béla schreibt dazu:
The
car which I have choosen to re-design in a retro-futuristic style is Peugeot 404
Coupe. This
type had a Cabrio version, too. My retro-404 is a coupe-cabriolet.
The 404,
designed by Pininfarina, was one of the most favourite cars in the 1960's.We
have seen it in many films, photos and posters.No doubt we can't imagine the
1960's without this car easy.
I thoroughly studied the shape of the car and
tried to find the featureswhich identify this car. I tried to use these features
in my concept.
I also tried to put something from the style of the 206 and
307 into my retro-design. I did this because I think the life-style which 404
transmitted is similar to the feeling given by these cars.
Some
technical information about the car:
This concept is a full-size four-seated
vehicle. The divided hard top can be hided into the luggage-rack. The car meets
the current technical requirements.
- The instruments and the semi-automatic
gearshift can be controlled from the steering wheel
- Information screen
integrated into the inter-seat platform.
- The side-mirrors have been left to
reduce drag. They are replaced with cameras and screens.
