Peugeot has released the first images and information about the 908 RC Concept, a luxurious touring interpretation of the racing car of the future that will be unveiled at the Paris Motor Show. For the moment, only photorealistic renderings are avalable.
The original idea was to create a limousine with an imposing style that offered its four occupants a new driving sensation.
The final design, however, is an uncompromising car that combines dynamic performance, comfort, luxury and environmental protection.
The 908 RC is targeted at a very upmarket virtual customer, naturally accustomed to a very high level of luxury but above all passionate about their motoring and its history, but also in search of innovation coupled with assertive styling and uncompromised driving pleasure.
"The raison d'être of any concept car is to explore new ideas and to test those ideas in an attempt to create the ultimate solution. Know-how and passion, combined with imagination then become the motive force that turns dreams into reality. The Peugeot 908 RC evokes passion and imagination to allow us to dream but it will also have a serious side."
The vehicle is built around a pre-impregnated carbon composite and vacuum-polymerised aluminium honeycomb structure.
The rear section is a self-supporting shell incorporating a sub-frame consisting of a tubular structure on which the engine and suspension are assembled.
The originality of the 908 RC resides in its compact design, with the engine arranged in a rear central transverse position.
Similarly the compact 6-speed electronically controlled sequential gearbox has been specially adapted to withstand the phenomenal torque, and is located under the engine.
The position of the power train allows the creation of a large-capacity boot, situated behind the final drive assembly and therefore not encroaching on the generous interior space of the passenger compartment.
