Design Your Dream Car

CRC Melton students have been busy designing their dream car for the Toyota Dream Car contest.

The competition encourages and inspires creative expression and calls on entrats to challenge the boundaries of traditional thinking.

It is a chance for tomorrow’s engineers, designers and creative thinkers to let their imaginations run wild by drawing an image of their dream car.

Three marvellous entries include:

Year 7 student Firas - Lamborghini

“I chose this car because I like Lamborghinis. It is my dream car that I hope to get when I’m older.”

Year 8 student Raphael - Concept Car

“Here is why I chose some of the design features on my car:

The under-glow is a feature that you will most likely see in video games or in Tokyo. I chose it because it adds that cool look and feel to the car.

The time machine in the back of the car is for when I want to go back in time. I think it would be cool if I went and spent a week in the distant past.

I added a rocket booster for when I want to go really fast, like 230 kmph fast. This was inspired by Dom’s Ice Charger from the movie The Fate of the Furious.

I added a diffuser and spoiler because it looks really cool and adds downforce to the car.

The last feature I added was a net for a quick escape. This idea was inspired by a NASCAR. The cars have nets so if a big crash was to happen a driver could get out quickly.”

Year 10 student Charlette Kakoschke - Chevrolet Camaro

“The reason I chose a Camaro as my dream car is pretty much because I have always loved the Transformers movies and the character Bumblebee, who transforms into a Chevrolet Camaro. So, when I heard about this competition, I instantly knew I was going to draw my favourite version of Bumblebee for my dream car.”

Students aged up to 15 years who would like to enter the competition can draw or paint a picture of what they imagine their dream car will look like.

The student who wins first prize will receive a $2500 Visa Gift Card for their school, and another $2500 Visa Gift Card for themselves. There are also eight $275 Visa Gift Cards to be won across the age categories.

The competition closes at 11.59pm AEDT on Sunday 28 February 2021. Visit https://dreamcarentry.com.au/ to enter.

Good luck to all of our entrants!
