Shapely Concept Of A Funky Future
Peugeot
has unveiled its vision of the future with a series of concept
cars that will go on show at the Birmingham International Motor
Show next month.
Leading
the way is the Peugeot Prométhée, which is intended to give a
flavour of the direction the company’s designs is heading.

The
new vehicle shows off the marque’s new face, and is powered by
the clean diesel HDi engine.
New
ideas in the design include a new type of sliding rear door and
a split-level boot.
Peugeot
Managing Director Tod Evans said:
“Prométhée
incorporates a laboratory of ideas but it is real enough to
project us into what’s possible tomorrow.”
Fun
ways of getting around eco-friendly cities of the future have
also been looked at, with a series called City Toyz.
