For the last eight years, the L.A. Auto Show has sponsored a design competition that asks manufacturers and designers to create cars to wow twelve design studio executives. For this year’s design challenge, entrants were asked to create outlandish movie cars of the future, submitting a complete concept design along with a character and plot line. Check out all the pics in our gallery to see the first renderings of this year’s design competition entries, plus get the scoop on which automakers are already on track for a year’s worth of water cooler bragging.
