Objective: Design a vehicle for Luana who is a MIlleniumite from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. She is interested in health, but specifically in living a “no carbon footprint” lifestyle. She would like to play “City Race” where nearby drivers compete in fastest across-a-zone journeys. However, her current transportation is not efficient enough to remain “green” while doing races across the city.
