Serious meets sexy in Peugeot concept

With 202kW of power, Peugeot's 207 RCup concept has some serious mumbo to match its sexy, sporty exterior.
The RCup will be one of two Peugeots on display at the Geneva Motor Show next week. Peugeot says the RCup could be the design blueprint for a future European one-make racing series.
Powered by a naturally aspirated 2.0-litre 16V petrol engine, the RCup has a six-speed sequential gearbox. The Super Pug has just 10cm of ground clearance and sits on four 18-inch wheels with 235/40R18 tyres.
The front air dam has air extraction ducts forward of the front wheels and the rear roof spoiler delivers increased down force

The diesel engine is a 1.6-litre HDi FAP (DV6TED4) with 80kW of power combined with a 2.5kW Stop and Start system (STT) (2.5kW), which allows the car to run fully electric below 60km/h. The electric motor is capable of up to 31kW and 180Nm.
The electric motor works on its own at low speed and when decelerating. The thermal engine operates on its own at constant speed on open roads and motorways. The battery pack takes the place of the spare wheel.
