hile it's no easy task to select the top 3 finalists from over 600 art contest entries, it certainly isn't easy to put together a car in just 10 short weeks from scratch. There seems to be a bit of confusion from the Motor Trend camp as Nate Martinez, associate editor help picked the winning design, but Mike Floyd, Senior Digital Content Director slams it.

From an artistic standpoint, this car is pretty amazing in a sense that one artist (Rob Evans) conception has been transformed into a live object. The builder VIP Auto Salon had only 10 weeks to complete the project from start to finish. All exterior pieces had to be built from scratch and the wheels were milled just in the nick of time. I give a lot of credit to the builder for taking on this arduous task being that they only had two renderings to work off of. As you can see from the renderings, they did a pretty good job of getting it very close without losing the overall look and feel of the concept.
