Peugeot shows off its green credentials at ExCeL.
July 3, 2008 Posted by: Faye Sunderland
Peugeot green cars will be on display at the forthcoming London ExCeL Motor Show (which runs between 22 July – 3 August), from the latest ‘cheap to tax’ (at just £35 per year) 107 KISS SE to the show debut of the 308 RCZ concept. These low-emissions vehicles and many others are a central part of the Peugeot stand, packed with new, fascinating and special new models.
The newest car on show won’t actually be on UK roads until 2010. The 308 RCZ Concept, will be making its UK show debut and has only recently been confirmed to enter production. Its attractive appearance is a product of the design inspired by the 908 HDi FAP Le Mans Series race car, with its double-hump roofline for low-drag aerodynamics. The lightweight carbon-fibre roof also saves weight and helps achieve low-emissions of just 160g/km CO2.
Other exciting exhibits on the Peugeot stand include the Peugeot 908 HDi FAP LMS (Le Mans Series) race car. So far this year the 908 has won every race - at Barcelona, Monza and Spa. After a race in Germany in August, the final is at Silverstone on 14th September.
The recently announced 207 CC ELLE Special Edition is displayed in two of the magazine-readers’ chosen favourite colours and colour interior specification.
A number of environmental displays promote the company’s ‘Blue Lion’ standards including an exhibition of the futuristic 308 Hybrid Simulator.
For those enthusiasts looking for something a little more ‘extreme’ they may be fascinated by a design interpretation of the 207 GTi THP 175. This particular car features ‘scissor-opening’ doors and a special bespoke leather trimmed interior.
Peugeot also has a driving experience of its range of vehicles available outside the halls, plus for those too young to drive an electric ‘pedal car’ driving zone experience. Finally visitors to the Motor Show can view the Peugeot stand early by going to www.peugeot.co.uk/motorshow for a virtual tour.
