Peugeot RC HYmotion4 Concept Racing Car

Peugeot RC Concept Racing Car 1With Citroen, Peugeot RC HYmotion4 is a field that is increasingly cluttered with hybrid concepts using a new system that can take the road to be unveiled at the Paris Motor Show. Fortunately for Peugeot, they have managed not just recycle or rebadge an existing model, but have incorporated this technology into an boldly attractive four door GT coupe.

Peugeot RC Concept Racing Car 2Peugeot has joined sister-brand Citroen by releasing a concept vehicle based on the new HYmotion4 AWD hybrid system. The new concept is according to Peugeot, a ‘Touring Car Coupe’ that features a number of engineering and technological ideas expected to make their way, if only gradually, into both of the carmaker’s future production models. Unlike the hybrid systems used by current production vehicles, this concept has no direct mechanical connection between the electric and internal combustion drive systems. This way, the RC can operate in either rear, front, or all-wheel-drive modes. That means it can also operate using internal combustion, electric only or blended mode combining both. Propelling this concept is a rear mounted turbocharged 1.6 liter engine driving the rear wheels and producing 218 hp and 206 lb-ft of torque. Up front, an electric motor provides up to another 132 lb-ft of torque and provides a governed combined production of 313 horsepower. This sort of power pays of with acceleration to 62 mph in a mere 4.4 seconds. The electrons are stored in a lithium-ion battery pack of an as unreleased size, but having the electric motor at the front instead of the rear axle means that more kinetic energy can be recaptured through the regenerative braking process. According to Peugeot, the RC can get 52.3 mpg with a minimum output of just 109 g/km of CO2 emissions.

Peugeot RC Concept Racing Car 3Other Hymotion4 concepts in the mix for the future include Peugeot’s Prologue, which previews an upcoming 3008 crossover, as well as the Citroen Hypnos and C4 WRC rally car. These concepts, according to the manufacturer, are a synthesis of ideas that demonstrate a commitment to both respecting the environment and driving pleasure. If all of the technology that is used within this concept lives up to the manufacturer claims, the French may have the inside track in future hybrid production.

Citroen Metropolis and Survolt due for production

Citroen is working hard on bring two of its most recent concept cars into production: the Metropolis premium saloon and the Survolt electric sports car.

Citroen’s effort at breaking into the European executive saloon market with the current C6 failed but Ploué said that Citroën must carry on and the Metropolis is the model that could do that. The Metropolis would take its place as Citroens flagship saloon and may be badged ‘DS9’.

“We cannot afford to let the likes of Audi, Mercedes and BMW forge into Citroën’s heartland supermini territory without fighting back and pushing into theirs. Selling large luxury cars in Europe is not easy at the moment, but I believe Citroën has a great deal more to bring to the market. A large, characterful DS flagship model — we could call it a DS9 to reference the original DS19 — could do great things for us”, Polué said.

In addition, Polué suggested that developing such a car for the Chinese market – which would measure over 5.4m – and badging it as a Citroën, would be a positive financially.

“It’s still our intention to put the Survolt into low-volume production, and we’re pursuing the idea of a one-make race series,” well-placed insiders confirmed.

2011 Citrone Metropolis: S-Class new rival

Car Collections - Premium segment is an elite group where they get all that in the dreams of other car brands. Brand embedded inside consumers, financial gain and a history is recorded. All manufacturers hang up his hopes for the incoming class in that group.

But it's not easy. Acura-Honda-brand luxury cars continue to strive to enter in groups of more than 20 years. Nissan's Infiniti are also still looking for a crack to enter. Mercury from Ford already tens of years but still has not been established. Maybach, Mercedes-Benz was reportedly even winded flared flowers. Competition is increasingly fierce with the entry via a serial Hyundai Genesis.

In 2008, the French manufacturer, Citroen introduced a concept car named tebarunya DS-taken from one of the legendary models. This concept car shows the future of top class cars Citroen. The goal is to change the Citroen into near-premium brand.

Now, Citroen show the world the next step of that effort. They introduced a berpontesi luxury sedan to compete with Mercedes-Benz S-Class or BMW 7 Series. 2011 Citroen Citroen named Metropolis. This model of the Audi A8L is longer and wider than the Maybach 62.

This is the first project to be completed by the design studio, the new PSA Peugeot Citroen in Shanghai, China. Well as indications kuata this model will be produced for local markets of China. Behind ekterior attractive design, the hidden platform 3 Citroen has made in the modification. Platform 6 is also used Citroen and Dongfeng produced several models, a partner PSA Peugeot Citroen in China.

Propulsion system using the latest technology of PSA Peugeot Citroen are Hymotion4 hybrid systems. For this model, using a 2.0-liter V6 engine that produces 272hp which are all used to rotate the front wheels, while the electric motor drives the rear wheels. Combination of the two sources of power output was 480hp, equivalent to a V8 engine and 317lb-ft of torque. 7-speed transmission using a dual-clutch.

Many suspect, Metropolis 2011 Citroen will be displayed at the 2010 Beijing Auto Show, but apparently Citroen missed it and choose a grand exhibition of Expo 2010 Shanghai China. Maybe Citroen pursue Shanghai community, no one business city in China, places where most rich people in China to build it business empire.

Citroen Survolt, figure Supercar for Women?



Assumption that the supercar is only created for men, seems to begin to erode. Stereotypes for cars with engine capacity gallant giant omitted in the figure nicknamed Citroen supercar Survolt. He looks a uni many visitors absorbing event Geneva Motor Show 2010.

Survolt length 3.85 m, 1.87 m wide and 1.20 m high This dimension is even smaller when compared with the Audi TT. And Survolt Citroen supercar makes a compact dimension and minimalist course suitable for women.

This is supported by the appearance of exotic and flirtatious. Visible on the exterior appearance of wrapped two tone shades that combines beautiful colors. Fuchsia color that is on the front and charcoal gray on it back.Yang interesting, pink accents that are added to some of these panels make the car look more flirtatious.

Not to mention, the front and rear bumpers are designed like a satin gown made famous designer from France. Rear spoiler and also apply a similar design that makes more luxurious Citroen Survolt without forgetting the aerodynamics.

With the use of LED lights the front and rear plus exhaust display and use of trapezium-shaped alloy turbine aircraft, making Citroen Survolt more beautiful and promising a better performance.

Of course with such a view, supercar made by the French manufacturer is breaking the grip other supercar. And better describe a beautiful model on the catwalk, rather than look handsome and macho. No wonder this person will steal the attention of the visitors that arena.

Fun, this car is not only vain. However, concern for the preservation of the environment remains noted. Because, although there is no further confirmation about the performance of the machine that will be used, but will make sure Citroen in transplanting plug-in hybrid technology.

Plug-in hybrid technology is a development of the Revolte Citroen has shown in last year's Frankfurt Motorshow. This technology combines an electric motor-powered rechargeable battery with a small internal combustion engines.

Of course, the look and hybrid engines that are in Survolt Citroen, this compact supercar is more feasible in the drive by hot artists like Megan Fox, rather than paired with fine actors like Dwayne Johnson.
