The bodywork of the 2+2 coupé weighing 1,374 kg (3,029 lb) was created by the Peugeot Style Center and inspired by the work of designer Luigi Colani. It comprises composite materials, including resins and carbon fiber, and a large polycarbonate glazed cockpit.[9] The cockpit is entered through the polycarbonate canopy, which splits in half crosswise. The front half of the canopy rotates forward at its base, while the rear half slides backward.[4]
The vehicle is powered by a twin-turbochargedV6 engine, 24 valves, 2,849 cm3 (173.9 cu in), 680 hp, with a top speed of 348 km/h (216 mph).[10] A traction control solution automatically transmits power to the front wheels when rear-wheel slippage is detected, while the gearbox and clutch are also electronically controlled.[4]
The cockpit can accommodate up to four passengers. Two onboard computers and five high-definition color screens assist the driver with rear-view cameras and an anti-collision radar, giving the driver a full view of the car's surroundings.[4] In addition, the car features one of the prototypes of a satellite navigation system (GPS). The heat produced by the sun on the large glazed dome of the cockpit is cooled when stationary by a temperature control system powered by a solar panel on the rear of the car.[11]
