Peugeot 308 RC Z ConceptVisually, the fl uidity of the design is further enhanced by the way the large tinted front windscreen, the carbon fibre roof panel and the polycarbonate tinted rear window are combined This fl owing «V» profile gives the vehicle its shape and creates an impression of movement in all positions. From here, the style lines fl ow upwards back over the bonnet and into the two polished aluminium roll-over protections bars. The Peugeot "Lion" badge is mounted to what can truthfully be called the «nose of the bonnet».
Peugeot 308 RC Z ConceptExterior styling The particularly stylish design of the front of the 308 blends brilliantly with the proportions of this concept car. With a length of 4.276 (same as the hatchback), a width of 1.840 (25 mm more than the hatchback) and a height of only 1.320 m, the proportions of the 308 RC Z concept car combines a very dynamic design with a high level of road holding. Its taut lines and streamlined design ensure an efficient aerodynamic specification (a SCx of just 0.65), improving performance, fuel consumption and therefore helping to protect the environment due to the reduced CO2 emissions. It made it possible to adopt a particularly stylish front design to share a large number of components already developed for the hatchback, therefore simplifying the production of this coupé to capitalise on the hatchback's strong points, which become even more effective in the 308 RC Z concept car (for example, suspension components, wheels, certain equipment items and the fl owing design of the fascia panel).
Peugeot 308 RC Z Concept Using the 308 as a blueprint offered a number of benefits. Attention initially focused on making the vehicle as light as possible by the use of numerous aluminium components, for example the two roll over protection bars that separate the passenger compartment and give shape to the exterior styling, and the use of a polycarbonate rear windscreen and a large number of carbon fibre body parts. The car is a 2+2 coupé, with true versatility and at the same time a style that is modern, original and well-balanced. he 308 RC Z concept car is a new Peugeot interpretation of driving pleasure.
