Local Motors a Massachusetts based company that claims it's able to build cars in a completely unique method that far surpass current production methods had revealed the first car to be built: The Rally Fighter Concept by Korean student Kim Sang Ho, which won the design competition organized by LM to pick their first production run vehicle.
Hit the jump to read more and one of the more finished drafts.
Local Motors claims that unlike large scale manufacturing plants requiring everything to be transported, collated and produced, and then transported back to reach out to consumers, they are able to create small scale manufacturing in various places, using local resources supplying to local demands. Sounds viable if you are franchising McDonalds, for car production we're not very sure. Nonetheless, confidence to Local Motors is further strengthened by the enormous sum of $10,000 awarded to the Kim who won the competition for LM's Rally Fighter Crossover, with 2 hand drawn drafts. Hmm ... why does it smells like a PR stunt to attract investors?

it looked cool but this is definitely a BMW, if LM's gonna build it, they would definitely have to do away with plenty of those BMW themes that would otherwise need another concept drawn.
