Peugeot unveils the SR1 concept

Peugeot says the SR1 concept offers a glimpse into the design future of the French carmaker, with numerous design cues that are absent from the current generation of Peugeot cars. The SR1 concept is a 2+1 hybrid grand tourer roadster that will be unveiled at the 2010 Geneva Motor Show.

Among the design features of the SR1 include a large sculptured bonnet, flowing wings, sweeping sides and a chiselled rear design, as well as the low height and LED headlights. The SR1 also features a slightly redesigned Peugeot Lion badge.

The SR1 has a 2+1 seating configuration with room for three, two in front and one in the rear. The cabin is finished in leather and wood, as well as high-tech materials such as nickel and satin-finished chrome.

The SR1 concept uses Peugeot HYbrid4 technology, and is powered by a 1.6-litre THP petrol engine producing 218bhp, which is combined with a rear electric motor that produces 95bhp. Total power output is thus 313bhp, and the power will be sent to all four wheels via an AWD system when both motors are engaged.
