This electric motor car of the brand Peugeot was presented at the end of 2009 and constitutes for the moment only a prototype. It is 100 % electric thus completely silent. Although it is small at first sight, it is 2 meters 50 centimetres long, can contain 4 persons inside and contains a trunk of 160 liters.
One of its peculiarities is its design: forms thrown forwards to facilitate the aerodynamism, A glass roof which bends to end in windscreen without demarcation and a roof in two bumps to make space for the rear passengers.
The driving position is vertical. A guidon serves of steering wheel and allows all the commands (there are no pedals on the ground). A USB plug allows to place its "Smartphone" in the middle of this steering wheel and to use it as it is: the images are broadcasted on the dashboard and the sound in surrounding speakers.
The engines of this car of the future are located in its 4 wheels. Headlights are completely in LEDs (assure a lower energy consumption and are lighter). At the end of every front headlight is a camera managed towards the back which broadcasts on screens inside the filmed image. This function of rear-view mirror avoids the braking of the air which consumes pointlessly energy.
When will be the availability of this car for the general public?
