Australian ID student Harsha Ravi's Globetrotter concept car, above, won him the Australian Young Designer of the Year. The supergreen microcar is intended to be painted with solar-energy-storing nanopaint and made of carbon-neutral bioplastic (88% corn-based plastic), which Ravi calculates will knock 30% off the energy required during manufacturing. Click here to see his well-rendered concept boards and read the details of his design.
We will hopefully be seeing more of Ravi's work; he will be making his way to GM North America's design studio next year for a three-month, $50,000 internship included with the prize package.
