RE: Peugeot's Onyx V8 supercar concept unveiled

[blearyeyedboy]

I suppose it's a novelty having to worry about thieves taking your front wings to melt down for their scrap value instead of being worries that they'll nick the car.

Looks pretty nice though.

[98elise]

Haven't they just announced a drawing + a spec rather than a car?....and then there will be a full sized model at the show of something they will never build?

Next week I'm going to announce my plans to build a 2000hp hybrid (got to get that in there!)car which weighs 500kg....I wonder if it will make the news?

Actually I like the idea of the copper, in fact any bare metal would be pretty amazing, no paint to scratch, and if it gets scratched itself it will always polish out, very cool

[Maldini35]

Hmmm spend time and money on irrelevent concepts that senior management will never have the balls to see through but pull the plug on a potential Le Mans winning car after a successful first test at Sebring - once all the development money had been spent.

My first thought was more that someone really like the Veyron 2-tone look.

Hmmm. Pugatti....

would look like you are driving around in the statue of liberty after it oxidises though :P

Looks like the car that Al drove in the pilot episode of Quantum Leap

[LuS1fer]

I liked the sheer gall of the 907.

This looks crap and generic, dull, boring and as has been noted, largely pointless.

First car I've seen with an integrated air vent for your balls.

Then you've not driven an MR2 MK2, they have a special ball height vent.

Look at this! Just don't look at our sales figures & expect us to build them

Pointless

Thing like concept design are used to direct a design language in future Peugeot models, and it lets the designers have some freedom with ideas that might make it into products further down the line.

It's even decked out in real copper trim, which will purposely age over time

[LotusOmega375D]

Now they're just copying what Lancia did in the late 70s / early 80s with the Beta.

[WCZ]

no cup holders?

Is that vent to keep the drivers balls cool

What about their other diesel from 2002? The RC.



http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peugeot_RC

Or the 907, not a Diesel but it looked like a Mclaren SLR had run through the back of a 407 coupe, it was hideous.

If you call the 907 hideous do you like any Peugeot! Yes, I like it. Would I buy one... No, would be too costly.

I believe the RC shape was used for a one make race series.

[LCR265]

Looks good, not sure about the side profile though.

Peugeot would be far more interesting if they released any of the cars that have been posted in this thread!

Sums it all up perfectly, and Peugeot wonder why they are on the brink of going bust.

My MR2 has such a vent. Keeps your, ahem... gentlemen's area cool in the summer.
