Peugeot's Geneva Motor Show Debuts Limited to 308 Facelift and Special Editions of RCZ and 3008 Hybrid4

Unless Peugeot is hiding a surprise in its pouch, the French carmaker's presence at the upcoming Geneva Salon will most likely go under the radar. Aside from the subtly facelifted 308 family which includes the hatchback models, an estate and the coupe-cabriolet, Peugeot's stand will also host the premiere of two limited edition models. The first is the RCZ Asphalt which is based on the most

Powered by a 200bhp 1.6-litre engine, the newcomer will be based on a development of chassis that underpins the brilliant Citroen DS3 - creating a spiritual successor to the original 205GTi in the process.

The compact pick-up, which completes the Brazilian 207 family range, already containing a wealth of hatchback versions, the SW, SW Escapade and the Passion notchback saloon, demonstrates Brazil's importance as a strategic market for the worldwide growth of Peugeot's sales, together with, in particular, Russia, China and the ASEAN countries, other mainstays of the Marque's international expansion plan.

Peugeot 3008 HYbrid4 Realased Of The Year

Toyota's hegemony on hybrids will be challenged by new automakers interested in catering for the hybrid market. Hyundai's first gas-electric car, Sonata Hybrid is also due towards the end of 2010. Fuel economy is expected to be improved by 20 to 25% on Sonata Hybrid.Honda has focused on hybrids that are small and more affordable. The 2011 Honda CR-Z Hybrid and Honda Fit Hybrid are expected in the fall of 2010. The CR-Z Hybrid was unveiled at the Tokyo Motor Show in 2008 and it would be the only hybrid with manual transmission.

PEUGEOT 207 SW Outdoor Concept (2008)

As an attentive observer of social trends and changing lifestyles, Peugeot has used its knowledge to design a 207, full of character, powered by state-of-the-art engines promising great drive ability, low fuel consumption high levels of environmental protection.

In line with the diversification of the many products offered in its segment, the 207 continues to evolve into numerous body types, the strong personality of each exercising its own captivating power.

So, this Spring, which marks the first anniversary of the three and five door hatchback, has seen the 207 range enriched by first the 207 CC, the classic re-invention of modern open top driving, then by the sporty RC and at the Geneva Motor Show, the 207 SW Outdoor concept car showing a glimpse of a new addition to the range.

Under its «Motor Show finery», the 207 SW Outdoor presented a dynamic and original style, a larger exterior and interior, appealing interior light and great versatility, including features very different from those of the hatchback from which it has borrowed much more than the design of the front …

In response to the increasing awareness of:
- Maximising available time, the need to under take many different activities and greater leisure time.
- Ease of use and adaptability to accommodate many different situations and solutions.
- Comfort and organisation of space.
- Well being.
- Sportiness.

Three separate solutions were created, all of which contain the genes of a true SW, and have been incorporated in what was then no more than a concept car.

My Top 10 Concept Cars of 2010

In less than two weeks, 2010 will draw to a close. So what better time to look back at the real stars of this year’s motor shows: the concept cars! Enter into a world where considerations like practicality and profitability fall by the wayside and the world’s designers and engineers show us their true potential. Let’s count down...my Top 10 Concept Cars of 2010!

10. Kia POP

Kia’s POP small electric vehicle study is a designer’s wet dream: a one piece glass windscreen and roof, scissor doors and an interior that looks more like a space capsule than a car. It also offers further proof that the South Korean company has evolved from a budget buyer’s first choice into a proper, world class automaker.

9. Citroen Lacoste

Again and again, Citroen has proved that it can do concept cars like no other automaker. Alas, with so many other awesome concepts this year, the Lacoste never made it further up our list than here. Still, this beach buggy for the 21^st century has some standout features like its funky LED dashboard, semi-open design and plastic-clad body.

8. Renault DeZir

Renault has never been so cool. In a perfect world, this electric two-seater would be the French automaker’s Audi R8. In reality, it’s just another fantastic shoulda-been from France’s dullest automaker (Renault Sport models notwithstanding).

7. Mercedes Benz BIOME

The BIOME is pure flight of fancy. Designed to be seeded in an orchard and grown like a cob of corn (no, really), the BIOME emits nothing but oxygen and marketing hyperbole. Am I the only one who thinks this looks a bit like the 2001 SEL from Spaceballs?

6. Peugeot EX1

Part car, part motorcycle: Peugeot’s eccentrically electric two-seat, three wheeler packs 250 kW / 340 hp between its narrow front wheels. This isn’t Peugeot’s first three wheel concept (remember 2005’s 20 Cup and 2009’s RD?) and is unlikely to be the last. Tres magnifique!

5. Lotus Elise

2010 has been a great year for Lotus concept cars, what with the Aston Martin Rapide rivalling Esterne and the relaunch of two classic nameplates in Esprit and Elan. Still, this teaser for the next-generation Elise is my favourite. 2013 can’t come too soon.

4. New Lancia Stratos

A fabulous one-off that’s drivable to boot, the new Stratos is underpinned by the same (if tweaked) 510 hp V8 that powers Ferrari’s 430 Scuderia. Designed and built by Italian design house Pininfarina, the new Statos recalls the much loved HF rally and road cars of the 1970s. Here’s hoping Pininfarina secures the licence to put this schoolboy’s wet dream into limited production.

3. Lamborghini Sesto Elemento

If there’s one 2010 concept car that divided opinion like no other, it’s Lamborghini’s Sesto Elemento. Between its stealth fighter styling, cacophony of oddly shaped intakes and outtakes and the de-saturated grey and red colour scheme, this was one of the wildest concepts to come out this year. Still, there’s no arguing with its 570 hp V10. We’ll take two.

2. Audi Quattro Concept

Raise your hand if you weren’t utterly enraptured by the rebirth of Audi’s ur-Quattro of the 1980s? No one? I thought as much. With its lightweight body, historically accurate 5-cylinder engine and 911-rivalling performance, what’s not to like? And the styling is to die for. The 1980s never looked so good.

1. Jaguar C-X75

And so here it is, my #1. 2010 had a lot of great concept cars, but none so much as Jaguar’s fabulous C-X75. Here is a gas / electric hybrid with 780 hp with a body fashioned out of texalium and vapour-blasted aluminium. This car is so cutting edge you have to wear gloves. It’s the perfect mix of exotic materials, futuristic technologies and pure styling jizz, and the top dog in our top ten.

So there you have My Top 10. What? You don't agree? Does putting a Kia on this list outrage your sensibilities? Are you disappointed that there are no American cars on the list? Is Jaguar's C-X75 and poorly conceived attempt to elevate the brand beyond its upper-class retiree roots? Let us know what you think in the comments section below.
