The Proton 2020 City Car Design Competition has ended and the winner have been announced.

http://paultan.org/2014/12/09/proton-desig...ners-announced/

Some examples from the winner of the secondary school category.











Here comes the 1st prize winner (rm3k cash + macbook air)



Although the contest listed that innovation and originality are being prioritized, but how realistic these entries looked? Is it even possible for our cars to look like that in 2020?

I am a car enthusiast and loved designing bodykits/ sketching cars when I am free, I entered the contest too with my following entries but I don't even get any consolation prize. Is it being realistic and getting the correct proportion wrong? I don't understand how the people at proton think, how is our car industry going to improve when you like childish drawing than a realistic sketch?







Comments and feedbacks are welcomed, especially honest ones.

Because first thought of your design is - suprima.

Why should they chose your design if they already produced it?

Possibly the judges are kids lel top kek

dude, even if u won something from it, who gives a shite? it's from proton.
it's like TVB actors winning their own TVB award. no real value. syok sendiri saja.

take your designs elsewhere.

But your design looks like suprimak. No originality?

eLuma looks cooooool

Shitz design only Proton will give any award...that first prize really facepalm...the runner ups and consolation actually much better.

No wonder Proton always comes up with design like Preve and Suprima. No taste in cars.

no originality

eluma won, not the one you posted. That got first runner up. Still, I feel you man. Your's could have been in top 5.

There's 2 groups. the Eluma won the university group, those that I posted are from the secondary school group which I am eligible to enter

the Eluma was a really impressive entry by the way, that's how a futuristic concept car should look like.

Mine might not be the most different one but hey.

Lets a take a look at Audi/ BMW/ Mercedes. Each of their models look identical with small similar elements, that's what makes people recognize your brand through the whole lineups.

I admit that mine looks a little similar to the Suprima, but I wanted it to be the bigger brother of Suprima or even the next generation Suprima, why not?





Side by side comparison, you can obviously see the unique bits from my design compared to Suprima.

You can go and take a look at various competitions organized by other car manufacturers, they don't take crazy drawings as winner as they are looking for production ready design or realistic ones which can really be considered to sell to the public.

Oh...didn't realized last entry is TS entry. No wonder didn't win. It's a Suprima rip off. Of course won't win anything!! Very Honest comments!!!

yours was great looking though. no wonder proton is so lacking in design department

can you point out which part of the car is ripoff?

Mind you, I took a Mazda 3 as the base proportion, no way that thing would be similar to a Suprima.

2nd pic reminds me of salamence

btw your design quite good..

I see. Still, the one you posted was 1st runner up and not the winner. Don't despair, keep at it. I can't even draw a straight line with a ruler.

The design should be relevant in 2020 not 2015.

They maybe considering other element such as design element competition not the the beauty drawing competition.

what kind of car do you expect to drive in 2020? with wings?

See. Bukan senang nak design car to please everyone. Even you design you already feel can syok and menang.. but still got people complain you rip off here and there.

topkek.

well i respect honest opinions and I know some are just trolls.

thanks for the encouragement guys.

TS, you should focus on improving your talents, and not crying over spilt milk. If anything, this thread has showcased your bitterness more than your penchant for designing cars.

Move on, and keep coming up with good stuff. I wish you the best of luck.

it's ok, thanks for the advice.

I know I can't do anything else to change the result or whatsoever but I wanted to show people how naive our carmaker is even after taking people's money as investment for so many years.

I hope you don't take this the wrong way.

It kinda looked like Dodge Dart.

I'm just sayin'.

butthurt lettew tax payer wining 1st prize

oh yeah it is, saw that car before, I know what you mean.

Loved that Dodge though, probably one of the best looking one in my opinion

Where are the cleats on those damn rims, son? Hehehe ... but anyways, nice design you have there... keep it up ... Proton doesn't see it as valuable, their loss ...

son, they need new idea, not modifry kopi pasta

They win because it suites their design & culture. What the fuss?

Or maybe the competition theme is called "give us a car that should not be made".

Found another funny thing.

According to the T&C. the sketch must has colors.



then you get this.

something's fishy.

let by gones be by gones

i tot got 2 category? secodary school and college.. but from ur post look like you butthurt more to those secodary school like sketch.

btw u got nice design too, r u sure u enter the right category? if u still in secondary school, maybe ur design too advance for that category

bro, chill.

ur design is nice. but maybe not the jury's taste.

i can see bmw 1er / scirocce side profile, bmw i8 fascia, cerato back..

did i read secondary school, ok lah, give chance.

Not pro, did not take art or photoshop

TS should go work for KIA liao.

'total recall' movie - that kind future car design would please proton

While Proton give awards to poorly designed cars, Perodua goes straight to prototype

care to share with us the description of your car, and other features? Or are the 3 pics just it?

concept doesnt need to be realistic...

TS about design. Good design for today, but not for 2020. The theme is Proton city car of the year 2020.

The body itself has the lines of a Scirocco.

Rear lights just look like Cerato.

Rear bumper from Inspira.

Need more creativity.

Btw, the E-Luma if really can make in future should go to Lotus. Give Proton will be such a waste.

I saw the contest entry must have proposed powertrain. I wonder somebody dare to propose a Rotary-Hybrid with a 2 speeder gearbox

Fixed RPM Wankel engine as a electric generator powering 2 rear electric motors, battery weight spread 70% rear 30% front. Can achieve 50/50 weight distribution.

Just a dream though.

More like Suprima with Honta Insight grille. If design like that also can win 1st prize, then I came up with my original design sure win already. These participants either don't know much about cars or just poor sketchers who took design from existing car and came up with their rubbish drawing.

buruk nak mampus 1st runner up.

I did some long description when submitting to proton but it's few months ago already.

Basically is that I wanted it to have a 1.6 Turbo engine + a small power electric motor, kinda the hybrid way. I didn't go full EV or even hydrogen energy because let's be a little more realistic, can Proton really produce such high tech products? people started producing turbo engines few decades ago and our dear Proton just started making the CFE Campro that's still very lacking compared to korean/ japanese, let's not say Mercedes/ BMW/ VW. And the car should be a C segment hatchback that competes with Golf/ Fiesta those kind of cars.

Well.. I can't deny that mine doesn't look super original, how possible is it to come out with a totally original design these days?

lets see some products from big companies.







interior





everyone wants to be original, but how many of us can actually do so?

again refer to my upper reply.

My concern is, when you can't even get a round wheel or a proper proportion, how usable is your sketch?

yes I am butthurt because of I don't understand how the judge the entries at all. if I didn't enter the competition I would be like most people who just take a look at the entry then laugh then move on.

But most of us always hate proton for creating cars that doesn't suit our liking, so why not give it a go when you have the chance?

I thought the Bezza was a prius from the back?

It just funny you straight blame Proton because your art didn't win. Take the result like gentleman la
Your design isn't bad but tbh, it lack of originality.

emm though some of the scratching is not well proportioned, some strong and unique concept are found among the winners.
the idea of concept car is more toward "how" and "why" on the concept, and it may not be realistic.

TS's scratch is nice indeed, but it is only part of the judging criteria.

Bro, if one company does not recognize your work doesn't mean there is something wrong with the company or you.

Personally I think you have the talent and I encourage you to explore it further. But you have to keep your sense of self entitlement in check, because this is not the last time your work will be rejected, regardless of you think the rejection is justified or not.

airing your grievances in public just makes you look like a sore loser. Let it go and move on.
