This electric car was built entirely from cardboard, tape, glue, and a strip of acrylic glass, designed and assembled by a team of five. The process started with inspiration images and rough sketches, but the team quickly found that building directly was more useful than planning on paper. From there, it became a process of cutting, testing, and adjusting, figuring out how to coax flat cardboard into smooth, curved forms. The paper layer of the cardboard was used to wrap the entire body, giving the surface a clean, consistent finish. Gaps were filled, seams were smoothed, and pieces were swapped out whenever something wasn’t working.
The most deliberate design choice came at the front: rather than traditional headlights, the team built a full light bar using acrylic glass to give the car a futuristic edge. The result is a vehicle that looks sculpted rather than constructed, which was exactly the goal.
