But Peugeot RC is not just good looks - he still having latest technologies developed by engineers PSA. For example, the concept has received the hybrid drive sedan, which by its design is very similar to the one that is used in another Paris concept Peugeot - Prologue. Here are just a gasoline engine (1.6 turbo output of 218 horsepower), he is back, a 70-kilovattny (95 horsepower) electric motor - in front.
That decision allowed the cabin to shift forward, so that RC can boast such a rapid profile, as well as optimize weight distribition car. Its spoils do not even pack lithium-ion batteries, which is located in the former "central tunnel."

The combined power of all engines Peugeot RC at 313 horsepower and torque - 178 Nm at the front wheels and 280 Nm at the rear.

In this sedan can be as a purely posterior-or front wheel drive (depending on the type of engine used in a given situation), and Full power - for example, during heavy acceleration or on slippery roads with paved. Acceleration from zero to one hundred kilometers per hour at the RC took just over four seconds.

Transmission - six "mechanics" electronically controlled, the algorithm of which is selected in accordance with the mode hybrid plant and road surfaces.

In addition, the Peugeot RC installed an experimental suspension of a complex called "kineticTM H2 CES", developed by Tenneco. It feature - constant hydraulic connection between the right and left cushion for each axis, which allows to renounce the use of stabilizers lateral stability.

But the suspension effectively grappling with the heel and excellent work out road roughness.

It is, moreover, that such a system after a while appears on the machines' Peugeot and Citroen. For example, as a more affordable analog "Citroen" hydropneumatic suspension, used on the new C5 and C6. Why not? It is not only "Sitroenam" can be a bit less, as all ...
