New Peugeot RC hybrid concept to debut at Paris Show
Author: Robin Brown
Published: 20 August 2008
Peugeot will debut its four-door, four-seat hybrid concept car at the Paris Motor Show in October - a GT coupe with the prefix 'RC'.
Peugeot has previously showed the RCZ coupe that will likely go into production, but so far Peugeot has declined to give the new hybrid RC... concept its full name.
The French manufacturer says the GT coupe provides the 'missing link' between the RC concept cars revealed in 2002 and the 908 RC, debuted at the 2006 Paris Motor Show. It is expected that the model's styling will pave the way for a new range of vehicles from Peugeot from around 2011.
The vehicle will work as a showcase for Peugeot's technologies, including stylistic, engineering and technological.
The RC car has a maximum power output of 313bhp while emitting 109 g/km on the combined cycle or zero emissions in electric mode.
