2010 Peugeot EX1 Concept will have its world premiere at the Mondial de l’automobile 2010 in Paris later this month. It came same with a celebration of the marque’s 200th anniversary. Peugeot’s thoughts are that of an “extreme dream car” which demonstrates the “exciting possibilities for electric power”. Peugeot EX1 Concept also show debut in Paris Motor Show on September 30.
It have 0.90m in height and 1.77m in width, makes use of a monocoque body structure manufactured from a carbon/honeycomb composite to optimize weight and rigidity. The design of the water droplet-shaped body incorporates Peugeot’s new design language, including the “floating” front grille and flowing contours.
The car’s suspension employs a drop link double wishbone arrangement up front and a single “swinging arm” linked to a centrally mounted shock absorber which is connected via a rocker arm at the rear.
The Peugeot EX1′s motivation comes from a pair of electric motors, one on each axle, thus offering four-wheel drive. Each electric motor produces a peak output of 125kW, for a combined 250kW or 340HP and 240Nm (177 lbs-ft) of constant torque. Energy is provided by a high-output lithium-ion battery.
