Peugeot 508 Hybrid Concept
While they’re not entirely well-known in the States, French car manufacturer Peugeot is a staple of the European vehicle landscape. And while not everything they have to offer is head-turning, per se, their Geneva-bound 508 hybrid concept sport sedan is a sight to behold.
The platform hinges on a trio of motors — a 1.6-liter four-cylinder turbo engine and a pair of electric motors (one for each axle) — which combine for 400 horsepower and just under 370 foot-pounds of torque. Together, those power plants also give this 508 a 0-62 MPH time of just 4.8 seconds and an electronically-limited top speed of 155 MPH. Interestingly, this concept is also good for 31 miles of travel on electric power alone, which is handy should you run out of gas. The sleek exterior, with its “Kryptonite” green accents, is also complemented in the cabin by Alcantara trim, adding just a touch of class to the otherwise stock interior. Set for an unveiling at the Geneva Motor Show, this super sedan is surely an unexpected treat.
