About the project

From contest entry to drivable.

Dakar .01 was IDMR’s entry for the Polestar + Hot Wheels Design Contest 2024. To show it as more than a render, the car was put into Unreal Engine as a playable game — real-time physics, a speed and gear HUD, and a gamepad in hand.

One car, five worlds: red-rock canyon, open dunes, salt flats, alpine forest and a snowy mountain road, switched on the fly.
