GrabCAD has contests like that all the time. I have been following that site since college, never know when you will find something on there worth rapid prototyping or machining. http://grabcad.com/challenges/koenigsegg-hood-release-handle http://grabcad.com/challenges/light-electric-vehicle-external-design-concept

SSC Announces Limited Production of Five Ultimate Aero XT's WEST RICHLAND, WA (08/02/2012) SSC North America, the American supercar manufacturer and creator of the Guinness World Record breaking Ultimate Aero, is proud to offer a very "Limited Edition" of the Ultimate Aero to enthusiasts worldwide. This limited, extreme edition will utilize some key assemblies that will be featured in the upcoming revolutionary Tuatara. "The demand for us to deliver additional Ultimate Aero's has been overwhelming," says Jerod Shelby, Founder, Lead Designer and CEO of SSC. "We have just raised the bar again by adding some of the cutting-edge elements from our Tuatara, to this very small production run of Ultimate Aero XT's." These five very unique, collectable Ultimate Aeros will be classified as the 2013 Ultimate Aero XT. Each 2013 Ultimate Aero XT will feature a 1300 horsepower version of the Tuatara power plant, 7-speed Tuatara paddle shift and the Tuatara cooling, fuel and braking systems. The aggressive paint scheme with colors chosen by the customer will never be used again on an Ultimate Aero or Tuatara. It certainly will stand apart from any other Ultimate Aero in the market today. After the 5 limited edition Ultimate Aero XT's are sold, production of the Ultimate Aero will permanently conclude.
So, when will SSC become a registered automobile manufacture in the U.S., and certify a turn key car for sale on the street?
when i saw the thumbnails in the forum, i thought somebody mocked this car by making shitty paint drawings. this has to be the worst marketing/press pics i've ever seen.
but you have to understand the type of person they're targeting. idiots with too much money love shit like that. thats how they see themselves in their own mind.
bingo... this would be my assumption. they used to sponsor the TeamSpeed forum, but according to a post on their, they stopped paying sponsorship quite awhile ago bummer, because i really wanted to see what the tuatara would do.... considering how well the less sophisticated aero performed, the tuatara should have been very impressive... starting to sound like it might not happen now <A BORDER="0" HREF="http://www.supercars.net/PitLane?displayFAQ=y"><IMG BORDER="0" SRC="pitlane/emoticons/sad.gif"></A>
