Peugeot to Showcase New Hybrid Concept at 2008 Paris Motor
Show
PARIS - August 20, 2008: The "RC" whose full name
will be revealed at the Paris Motor Show, is a hybrid concept car created
from the passion and expertise of Peugeot's stylists and
engineers.
It is a "GT" coupe which provides the missing link between
the RC and concept cars revealed in 2002 and the 908 RC, one of the stars
of the 2006 Paris Motor Show. It’s a working laboratory of many
future ideas and brings together numerous stylistic, engineering and
technological ideas all in a single vehicle.
The ‘RC…’ is also an accessible and versatile car,
with four doors, four seats and highly innovative hybrid architecture.
Its aim: a very high level of efficiency both in terms of performance
(with its potential maximum power output of 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 also ensure great driving enjoyment; a synthesis of
ideas which demonstrates that respect for the environment and driving
pleasure can be compatible.
