What happens when kids design cars?
While very different from each other, the designs have a few things in common:
- Eco-friendly: Many run on alternative energy sources such as hydroelectricity, solar power, and even chocolate!

- Innovative: With ground-breaking features including touch-screen doors, rainbow headlights and colour-changing metal – and body shapes inspired by dragons, robots and unicorns – these are definitely not your typical rides.
Inspiring stuff! Would your child like to have a go? What key elements would their cars of the future have?
