PEUGEOT SR1 CONCEPT PREVIEWS GRAN TURISMO



Is Peugeot going after the BMW 6 Series? From the look of this new concept car is sure looks that way. The SR1 Concept car is a two-door coupe designed to be a 2+1-seater, meaning two passengers up front and one at the rear, sitting in the middle behind the other occupants.

Peugeot has also used the new Lion badge on the bonnet, used sculptured lines, a low centre of gravity and LED headlights. Materials used inside include wood, leather, nickel and satin-finished chrome.

HYbrid4 technology is the source of power and it is made up of a 1.6-litre THP engine (same as the one in the 308 CC) making 160kW and an electric motor with 70kW. They say the SR1 is capable of a returning 4.9 litres per 100km of fuel while emitting 119g/km.

Unfortunately the car will not debut at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit this month, but will make us all wait for March in Geneva.
