Ford shows Model T2

25th October 2008

It's 100 years since the first Model T rolled off the line. So, Ford is celebrating the past by looking to the future! This is the winner of the firm’s competition to design a futuristic take on the first mass-produced car. Called Model T2, the three-wheeler features all-wheel steering and hub motors that run on compressed air.

Other entries included a simple hatchback that can be built with tools you keep in your garden shed! The only guidelines were that the car had to be light, practical and priced below £3,500. Eight universities entered the four-month contest. But the T2, from Deakin University in Australia, took the silverware – and £12,500 in prize money.
