Your thoughts on Peugeot 908 RC Concept

[Jawad]

This is such an unusual yet awsome concept at the same time.  I love the way it looks, even if it looks ugly.

[Catman]

Yes, cool yet ugly in some weird, disturbing way.  Looks a little like that Maybach concept with that stance.  Pretty cool.

Look how mean that front end is!  Kinda contradictory how it appears to be a luxury cruiser, but has some very uncomfortable looking sports seats!

[Danish]

I like.

Jawad you are officially a thread whore

[TBR]

Well the front looked nice in autoweek, but the profile is awful.

It's a very unusual shape... I can't like the shape, but there's something about it I like.

[JYODER240]

The shape is horrible, buts its "attitude" (if that makes any sense) makes it cool.

[Colonel Cadillac]

I feel like they are trying too hard to get that futuristic look. No good.

[280Z Turbo]

I feel like they are trying too hard to get that futuristic look. No good.

Agreed.

Looks like there's a lot of computerized nonsense going on too. I don't like it when cars think they're smarter than me.

[Raza]

It's a little too cab-forward for me.

[SVT_Power]

My thought? It's bloody long and then some.

[omicron]

Interesting.

[ChrisV]

Very cool. Very evil. A lot of attitude and road presence, which is what a car in that class should have. Subtlety is not a virtue in this arena.

I like things that push the boundaries, even if they don't always work. Because someone will look at one that doesn't exactly work and say, "I know how to make it work," and then they do.

And that's why we no longer drive new cars that look like this:

You know what I like more, though:





If Peugeot can produce something that is along these lines, and their 908 RC concept is sure as hell on the way, then I'm all in favour.

[Raza]

I love the C6.

[Raza]

This car has a transversely midmounted 5.5 liter turbodiesel V12, which shares architecture with the engine that will be in Peugeot's Audi fighting Le Mans car next year.  The engine has a 100 degree V to lower the center of gravity to the benefit of handling. 

Power figures look to be around 700bhp and 885lb-ft of torque. 


That information aside, the looks have grown on me.  I like every angle but the profile.
