PICS: The new Peugeot SR1 is Safe yet VERY SEXY

French automaker Peugeot will pull the wraps off a brand-new concep
vehicle called the SR1 at the Geneva Motor Show in March. Unlike
number of recent Peugeot cars and concepts, the SR1 isn't hallmarke
by quirky, love-it-or-hate-it styling. Instead, we see a somewha
traditional long-hood, short-deck profile with some interestin
details, such as the creased indentation in the doors that's echoe
in both the front and rear fascias. Also note the redesigned Lio
logo, which we surmise will show up on all future Peugeots from her
on out

Power for the SR1 (which, of course, has nothing at all to do with th
Corvette ZR1) comes courtesy of Peugeot's HYbrid4 technology, whic
pairs a small 1.6-liter turbodiesel four-cylinder engine powering th
front wheels with a 95-horsepower electric motor at the rear. Peugeo
says that its all-wheel drive, through-the-road hybrid system wil
make its production debut in 2011 inside the 3008 crossover, wit
other models to closely follow

Other concept-appropriate bits and pieces include a new removabl
plastic roof panel using technology that's borrowed from the world o
sailing, a three-seat layout with the third passenger behind the twi
front seats and instrumentation that pairs futuristic crystal tube
displaying current fuel consumption and remaining range with
classic timepiece designed by Bell & Ross. Continuing the ol
versus new theme are black nickel and satin chrome trim wit
traditional wood and leather inlays

With 313 combined horsepower, fuel mileage estimated at 57.7 mp
(European, 48 miles per gallon U.S.) and carbon emissions of just 11
grams per kilometer, the Peugeot SR1 ought to be a mean, gree
performer. Plus, its speed-sensitive four-wheel steering an
lightweight structure should equal formidable handling prowess. O
course, we may never know for sure, as this car, though it apparentl
signals Peugeot's new styling direction, is nothing more than
concept at this point
