CCS senior transportation design students were asked to develop 6-7 passenger, hybrid-design, multi-purpose vehicles with a performance edge, or futuristic alternative fuel “green cars” with a high-end performance feel. Students prepared image boards, ideation sketches, a detailed package drawing, a scale model, and interior proposals.
