New Autocar-backed competition for Coventry University design students will see them design new Riversimple
Autocar and Riversimple, the UK’s only manufacturer of hydrogen-electric road cars, have launched a competition for Coventry University automotive students to design a radical supercar that might even be put into production by the Welsh-based firm. According to the brief, the cars must be simple and elegant, incorporate a hydrogen fuel cell up front and its electronics and batteries in the rear, and be a similar size to a Ferrari Dino 246 GT – an overall length around 4.2metres, a width of 1.
These parameters are testing, admitted Riversimple CEO Hugo Spowers, but the carrot for those students is enticing. “Most design competitions are theoretical,” he said, “but this one’s real. If our entrants come up with designs we think could work, we might well adopt them for production.” Speaking about the car’s design, Spowers said he wants to avoid complex and aggressive, as well as retro, features, and it to not be too cab-forward .
