Peugeot At The 73rd International Motor Show Of Geneva
Published: 17th February 2003
Peugeot once again demonstrates its creative capacities by unveiling two new styling concept vehicles.
The 807 Grand Tourisme – Powered by a V6 engine developing approximately 204 bhp, the 807 Grande Tourisme also features an interior designed to transport four passengers in absolute luxury and comfort.
With added dynamic touches such as a lowered ride height, sports body sills, ‘chrome shadow’ luggage rack bars and 18" 7-spoke wheels, the exterior styling of the 807 Grand Tourisme gives it a very strong personality, combining both its sporting intentions with a chic and opulent character associated with a top-of-the-range vehicle.
In addition to its Babylon red livery, the 807 Grand Tourisme has a ‘honeycomb’ mesh grille, original xenon headlamps and a large, panoramic sunroof admitting generous quantities of light into a meticulously finished interior.
The interior is a four-seat configuration that features two integrated 13 inch TV screens for the rear seat passengers, integrated RT3 telematics, refrigerated storage units, electrically retractable footrests and a DVD player.
Hoggar: off to the dunes we go! – The Hoggar concept car features two HDi engines with FAP (particulate filter), one at the front, the other at the rear, developing in tandem power of around 360 bhp, with a phenomenal torque of 800 Nm.
This highly unusual concept car is an open-air vehicle with a low-slung and muscular profile. Hoggar is a thoroughbred 2-seater designed with recreation in mind. Less than 4 m in length, 2 m wide and 1.48 m high, the lines of the Peugeot Hoggar resemble those of a buggy.
Designed to carry two people, the Peugeot Hoggar welcomes its passengers into the cockpit by means of two ‘gull-wing’ doors. Once inside, the interior of Hoggar is a high-tech blend of aluminium and leather. The fascia panel has two central dials indicating the engine speed of each power train. The console houses a touch screen connected to a PC controlling the GPS satellite navigation system for direction finding, the speedometer and the inclinometer, and also features an MP3 player.
