Inspirational Images for Terra Prix

The turtle with the tough exterior shell protecting the soft innards during long migrations. One of the criteria for the Terra Prix racer is that it must traverse all terrains imaginable. The turtle represents physical toughness, which is an important aspect of the Terra Prix racer.

A migratory mammal, the Wildebeast makes its annual trek across Africa in search of greener pasture. With its lean, sinewy body, the wildebeast represents stamina and persistence. 

The fighter jet represents Speed, which is important because the Terra Prix concept is a racer after all. It also representing cutting edge technology, which is evident in the lines and shapes of the design.

Reworking Terra Prix Concept -- Engineering Requirements
