Based on the design study we previewed back in early September, we knew that PEUGEOT’s ONYX Concept (and matching SCOOTER) was worth a detailed look when it arrived at the Paris Motor Show.
This one-off supercar concept has a striking exterior made of carbon
fiber with fenders clad with lightweight copper sheets, giving it a
shine that’s hard to ignore. PEUGEOT says the ONYX weighs in at 1,110kg
and with a 680-hp diesel-hybrid underneath, PEUGEOT definitely has our
attention. With its debut, we now also have more information about its
specs, including the 3.7-liter V8 engine that uses kinetic energy
recovery to produce 80 of those horses, stored in a lithium-ion battery
until it’s needed during acceleration. The cabin will also have you
rubbing your eyes in a dreamy haze with more carbon fiber, a uniform
piece of recycled felt as a lining, and a center console and dash made
of the hottest looking compressed newspapers you’ve ever seen, made to
mimic the grain of natural wood. In sum, the future is looking bright
for PEUGEOT.
