( CNN ) -- It seats two people , has a sleek retractable roof and runs on electric power . And its body can be 3D printed in a single piece . Meet the Strati , the concept vehicle that was selected from more than 200 entries as the winner of the 3D Printed Car Design Challenge -- back in mid-April , US-based company Local Motors invited designers from around the world to submit their concepts for a car that can be manufactured using 3D printing . Developed by Italian designer Michele Anoe , the Strati will now form the basis of a car that will be printed out live and assembled from scratch at the International Manufacturing Technology Show in Chicago in September . The judges chose Anoe 's design for its compatibility with existing 3D printing technologies and explained it offered `` an excellent balance between innovation , complexity and practicality . '' The final prototype will make use of the electric powertrain from a Renault Twizy , but its structural chassis will be printed in one single piece . Elements like the seats , the dashboard , the boot and the bonnet will also be 3D printed during September 's show . Anoe wo n't just see his car brought to life , he 'll also receive $ 5,000 for his winning design . Read this : Is your flying car finally here ? Local Motors , a crowd-sourced car maker , has already developed a working model to check the process and has also released a video of its first test drive . `` It look us less than 40 hours to print one car and less than four days to assemble the first prototype which is an unbelievably short amount of time , '' says Jay Rogers , chief executive of Local Motors , which has been building off-road desert racers and electric-powered drift trikes for seven years now . `` By the end of this summer it will be less than 20 hours of printing , and we believe we can get it down to less than an hour of assembly by two people -- what this means is that is really the first production 3D printed car when you can reach those numbers , '' he continues . `` Our goal in the end is to be radically different about the creation of cars ; we sort of commonly say a car today is over 20,000 parts -- we would like cars of the future to have less than 20 parts . '' Six additional entries were also recognized and their designers received awarded with $ 1,000 . Local Motors says that some elements of these concepts could also found their way into the final prototype . Click through the gallery above to see the winning concepts . More from On the Move .
