Peugeot unveiled the previously teased RC Hymotion 4 Concept at the Paris Motor Show. Sporting the highly popular 4 door coupe profile of late, the RC Hymotion is not just another sporty four door sedan, it's actually a Hybrid that delivers 52.3 Miles per gallon (5 liters for 100km). Sporting an electric engine on the front sending power to the front axles for better capture of kinetic energy when the car goes under braking, and a 1.6 turbocharge petrol engine at the rear producing 218hp powering the rear wheels, the RC Concept could power either front, or rear axles or both, with all putting their grunt to the tarmac, it could reach 100km/h in around 4 seconds. Sadly thou, like always, Peugeot delivers the goods in car shows and not showrooms.

Is this what the upcoming 608 will look like?
I believe everyone will take this direction from now on ... but i also doubt there will be a 608 based on priority. There are plenty of other things Peugeot could do that would get decent feedbacks from the market rather than going ahead with the Germans like the Citroen C6, doing good in reviews, car magazines, and enthusiasts, totally out of sight with general car buyers.
If the Peugeot 608 looks like this, and performs well, it will be a serious threat to the German establishment!
