New prototype from Peugeot, right after the 907 which uses the 908 Le Mans engine, a V12 Diesel (lol, wtf), 5.5 litre engine with 700ponies and 1200nm of torque.

I quite like the agressive look, and the interior look is something that tickles my fancy as well.

However, it's always the same thing. The french car makers like to make these prototypes that look outrageous, yet the cars which get released are ugly (in my opinion) with just about everything wrong that can be done wrong in a car (once again, just my opinion). So once again, this too will never be released, and meanwhile the French car makers continue to churn our POSes.

I like the first 2/3 of the car but the rear could stay at home. New peug's are all starting to get that aggresive front which looks awesome IMO

Diesel sports car...so strange to say aloud

^^^ +1

nice front, looong back, ok interior... but that engine bay - V12 ... :shock:

Peugeot should have invested in a REAL production cars, 407 lookalike

I cant honestly sit here and say that the car is ugly. I think it is quite elegant. No I would not want it as a sports car, but as executive/celebrity/no cost option car i think they hit it right on the head.
Excpet for:

I do have to say the front and rear diffusers dont match the cars aim. Its obviously not an all out track day sports car, so why try to make it look like one. Looks like they are trying to go for a Ferrari F430 look, but in a rolls royce package. That doesnt really match that car. Delete that crap and its there!

It will probably fall into peices at the first hard launch, but it looks properly edible.

The front is too aggressive for the rest of the car. I wouldn't say it's ugly, but it's not great. Promising concept, though.

The front is far too aggressive for a 4 door sedan, despite the fact it has 700hp. I think the car overall looks pretty good. Everything seems to match so well, minus the trunk area. Too bad the odds of this thing entering production are slim to none.

Awesome looking car. Luv the huge hp diesel in it too!

I was wondering the same, is it mid-engined? if so then it would be a really interesting experiment. But the car looks plain wierd...

Just another concept that will never become reality :roll: Though the figures are surely impressive.

nice engine!
fugly car!

Like the aggressive front end not a big fan of the rear end kinda like the back end of the C6(Citreon C6 not corvette). Check that the entire side view is horrible. Upside that interior is mightily impressive if this car doesn't make it to the showroooms i hope that interior will. Probably break ofcourse but hey.
