This is not my favourite. The best in my humble opinion is the one designed by Jamie Martin

The first one looks like a children's toy, or something from an animation (the headlights are way big, they look like eyes). I'd think the second one was rejected because it was too "retro".

There was a joint runner up there as well, which looks fairly bad. Looks like the judging may not have gone entirely on looks, as it mentions "detailed technical drawings".
