_Pupple_ is a concept car I designed when I was 14, winning the Outstanding Design Award in the [2008 Michelin Challenge Design](http://web.archive.org/web/20080220024248/www.michelinchallengedesign.com/MCD_2008/Site/mcd_gallery_2008/mcd_2008_gallery_d14.asp). It was selected out of hundreds of international competitors to be displayed at the North American International Auto Show. 
The theme of the contest was safety. To achieve this, the _Pupple_ suspends passengers inside a gimballed sphere which rotates so that external forces are least likely to cause injury. Information about the outside world is relayed through a system of cameras and screens.

The 3D model was created in Autodesk 3DS Max.
