peugeot rc hybrid

The Peugeot RC Hybrid concept is a four-door, four-passenger GT "coupe" that could compete in the same segment as the Mercedes-Benz CLS. The latest RC concept is intended to fit between RC Spade and RC Diamond concepts from 2002 and features many exterior design cues borrowed from the 2006 908 RC concept. While the Hybrid's full name and specifications won't be revealed until the show, Peugeot has announced it will have a 313-hp hybrid powertrain that will emit only 0.39 lb of CO2 per mile and no emissions at all while operating on electrical power, says Peugeot. The RC Hybrid is expected to set the design tone for Peugeots in the near future, and its design cues will likely show themselves first on the upcoming 408 due out in 2010 that will serve as the replacement for the 407.
