Full designs listed here:

A girl I work with won the "Imagine" section where the designs are a lot less technical. Though I personally question whether or not the winners' is any more achievable. Sounds grand on paper, but "a highly-manoeuvrable, zero-emissions vehicle, with solar panels built into a glass roof, full accessibility, warm lighting and wooden floors" is going to cost a fair bit?

Hopefully it will safeguard a few jobs in the motor industry though IF they build it in this country
