Paris Preview: Peugeot Prologue concept

September 17th 2008 06:00

French car maker Peugeot's has revealed the name of their Paris-bound concept car ahead of its debut in October. The Prologue is a new generation hybrid vehicle boasting innovative architecture, style, ambience and hi-tech gizmos.

The five-door hatchback features an unmistakable front-end in typical Peugeot fashion although the grille and its upright position does have a bit of Audi Q7 look about it. Technical specifications are sketchy for the time being but what we do know is that the car will have 148 kW (200 bhp) and low CO2 emissions of 109 g/km in the combined cycle, or zero in electric only mode!

The Paris Motor Show commences on October 4.

The Official Peugeot Press Release:

"PROLOGUE..." BY PEUGEOT
A new generation hybrid

Derived from the fusion of different worlds, the "Prologue..." concept car lifts a corner of the veil on a new type of vehicle.

Anticipating future trends, the "Prologue..." is an innovative combination of ideas at a number of different levels: its architecture, its style, its interior ambience, its modularity, its original high-tech equipment and also its new generation hybrid technology.

In fact, thanks to this technology, this 200 bhp car offers unexpected levels of performance combined with significantly reduced CO2 emissions: 109 g/km in the combined cycle, or zero in electric only mode!

Paris Motor Show preview: Peugeot "RC..." Concept

August 21st 2008 04:45

French car maker Peugeot is set to debut a new concept car at the upcoming Paris Motor Show and they have released a set of images to whet our appetites before the grand unveiling in October.

Referred to as the "RC..." - the name of the actual car not yet been released - the new concept car "is the missing link" between the RC "Spade" and "Diamond" concept cars revealed in 2002 and also the 908 RC from the previous Paris Motor Show in 2006.

Despite being referred to as a coupe, the "RC..." is in fact a sleekly styled four-door vehicle with four seats a la Mercedes-Benz CLS, Volkswagen Passat CC etc. and a silhouette that would put many of the current supercars to shame in the styling department.

Engine specs boasts a 'potential' 230 kW (313 bhp) and minimal impact on the environment due to its hybrid powertrain to create a vehicle that combines respect for the environment yet delivering immense driving pleasure.

More details will be revealed after its launch in Paris.

The Official Peugeot Press Release:

Environmental efficiency combined with motoring passion

The "RC...", which its full name will be revealed at the Paris Motor Show, is a concept car born from the passion and expertise of Peugeot's stylists and engineers. This "GT" coupe is the missing link between the RC ♠ et ♦ concept cars revealed in 2002 and the 908 RC, one of the stars of the 2006 Paris Motor Show. It is a real laboratory of future ideas, bringing together numerous stylistic, engineering and technological ideas in a single vehicle.

The "RC..." is an accessible and versatile car, with four doors, four seats and a highly innovative hybrid architecture.

Its aim: a very high level of efficiency both in terms of performance (with its potential 230 kW/313 bhp) and minimal impact on the environment (CO2 emissions of 109 g/km in the combined cycle or ZERO in electric mode).

It is an exciting, eco-efficient vehicle which has all the characteristics that together create a real passion for driving. A synthesis of ideas that demonstrate Peugeot, more than ever, is capable of combining respect for the environment with driving pleasure.
