2011 Peugeot HX1 Concept Low MPV Architecture & Hybrid4 Powerplant Integrating Plug-in Technology with 204 hp 2.2 L HDi Diesel

With the HX1 concept car, which redefines the notions of expectation and emotion, Peugeot is again illustrating its ability to learn how to evolve and to reinvent itself constantly.
The specification for this prospective study is: to produce a vehicle for up to six people, while offering strong styling, that is sporty and efficient, giving unique driving sensations.
To achieve this, the HX1 transcends the notions of adaptability in all areas, with its extreme aerodynamics (the “flaps” are deployed to optimise aero efficiency according to vehicle speed), its tapered, low MPV architecture and its Hybrid4 powerplant integrating “plug-in” technology.
A UNIQUE AND TRANSFORMABLE CONCEPT, AIMING FOR MAXIMUM EFFICIENCY

Peugeot 908

The Peugeot 908 is an auto racing car developed by Peugeot Sport in 2011 for the Le Mans Prototype category of racing. Powered by a diesel engine, it is the successor to the Peugeot 908 HDi FAP which competed since 2007. The newer 908 features a smaller diesel than its predecessor, utilizing a 3.7 litres (230 cu in) HDi V8 in order to meet new regulations for 2011. The 908 will compete in all rounds of the 2011 Intercontinental Le Mans Cup including the 2011 24 Hours of Le Mans. The new 908 lost about 150 bhp compared to 2010 but improvements in the chassis and handling made the car much more agile. Rear tyres are now fitted on the front.


Peugeot SR1

The SR1 concept incorporates HYbrid4 technology, which will be launched in the Peugeot 3008 in 2011. In the SR1, at the front, a 1.6 litre THP petrol engine with a power of 160 kW (218 PS; 215 hp), is combined with a rear electric motor developing 70 kW (95 PS; 94 hp). In electric only mode, the car becomes a ZEV (Zero Emission Vehicle), while its combined cycle fuel consumption is only 4.9 litres per 100 kilometres (58 mpg_-imp; 48 mpg_-US) and 119 g/km of CO2. When the two power trains operate simultaneously, the SR1 develops a potential maximum power of 230 kW (313 PS; 308 hp) and also benefits from 4-wheel drive.

Because the SR1 concept was presented together with the new Peugeot brand identity - and its well-known lion - designers all over the world have seemingly been very eager to capture the new design directions chosen by the French giant, in an attempt to understand where the brand would position itself in terms of design, in the near future.
