About the concept:

B-polar is the winning entry of recent Alaska Motors by Local Motors. The competition brief was very attractive so I ran into it. Didi some research on what is currently available and then started very quickly to sketch. I already had some design ideas in mind, as well as for functionnality, power, storage, etc. The vehicle is a race offroad 4×4 with high ground clearance, powered by GPL and with a photovoltaic front shell. It embarqs a lot of technology in it, such as drive by wire and Heads Up Displays. Storage space is located at the rear, more convenient. The chassis can twist and turn around a central sphere (the gas tank) to help maneouvrability in any conditions. It has two engines, on for each set of wheels.

About Anthony Colard:

I’m 23, french, graduated from Strate College Designers in Paris in June 2009, with congratulations of the jury for my RCS Orion / Caudron C848 project. I’m found of everything which offers great sensations, especially motorbikes and sportscars. Planes are also a big inspiration for me as my grandpa was a pilot. I also love jet skiing, snowboarding, etc. I use mainly traditionnal techniques as I’m not a big fan of computer sketching, also because my computer starts to be very slow! I’m currently developing my own motorbike, based on a Ducati Superbike engine and frame. I have also other projects in production process, but they are confidential. All i can say is that a car will be unveiled this year and a helicopter.
