The competition asked budding car designers to send in an image of their dream concept car, with the winning design being entered into Test Drive Unlimited as a fully functioning 3D vehicle. As well as having their car immortalised in the game, the winner will also receive a cash prize of $2,500.

Voting opened on July 1 and will close on July 10, with the winner being the contestant who receives the most valid votes from the public.

Test Drive Unlimited is due for release on Xbox 360 in September, with PC, PS2 and PSP versions to follow.
