Prior to the 2010 Paris Motor Show, Peugeot revealed today the EX1 Concept, a new 100% electric concept car which promises to show the new design directions of the French manufacturer. Celebrating Peugeot’s 200th anniversary, the new car is powered by two electric motors, capable to deliver a total output of 250 kW or 340 hp. The all-wheel drive two-seater roadster incorporates Peugeot’s new stylistic design codes, which were first seen on the SR Concept, unveiled back in March at the 2010 Geneva Motor Show.
Furthermore, the car features polished aluminum components seen on the RCZ and BB1 Concept. The new EX1 Concept has a height of just 0.9 meters and a width of 1.77 m. What is more interesting is found under the design, where the car features two electric motors, one on each axle, each delivering 125 kW (250 kW / 340 bhp in total) as well as a maximum torque of 240 Nm. And because this car is just a design study, the passengers have to climb into the passenger compartment using a reverse-opening door.
"The Peugeot EX1 concept car benefits from characteristics that give it a high enough level of performance not only to leave behind the city centre, the preferred territory of electric vehicles, but also to challenge acceleration records. Its lightness, weight distribution and aerodynamics, the torque and power of its two electric motors and its high-output lithium-ion battery are just some of the characteristics that make this a car capable of lightning acceleration: the latter can exceed 1 G of gravitational force." stated the press release.
