The engineers since launching the
Peugeot RCZ concept (September 2007) at the Frankfurt Motor Show, thinking this really looks like a sport coupe, the
Audi TT (1998) and the
Volkswagen Scirocco (1974).
When it comes to the show trials 308 RCZ (1.6 L THP (petrol) and 2.0 L HDi FAP (diesel)) in Spain at the invitation of PT Astra International Tbk Peugeot (13-14/4).
Although made from the platform (deck monocoque) The Same with the Peugeot 308, this two-door sports sedan had a strong independent character. Namely the design of corrugated roofing (double-bubble) and the replacement of aluminum Pillars arc ABC.
Peugeot 308 RC Z review:
A new compact hatchback destined for the medium car segment, it has many strengths that will appeal to a broad customer base, not least due to its semi-tall architecture with its promise of greater interior space, its improved visibility and its brighter interior, but also its exemplary road holding, its range of high-performance engines, its high levels of safety and a number of design features which contribute to improving on-board comfort and convenience inside the car. Finally, its aerodynamic shape and “feline” elegance give it a strong and immediately recognisable identity. Naturally the 308’s three and fi ve door body styles are only part of the “T7” programme.
While some body styles are already confi rmed and in development, some are still yet to be created and are currently only in the imagination of the designers and engineers who are so passionate about cars.
Nevertheless, their ideas sometimes come together to give life to even the most fantastic ideas. In such cases their dreams fi nally become reality, making way for part-real, part-fantasy automotive designs. The result of such ideas is the 308 RC Z concept car.
Even for a unique model, Peugeot’s designers do everything they can to make their dreams become a reality and leave nothing to chance. Safety is also made a top priority.
While the exceptional road holding of the 308 RC Z concept car forms the basis of its primary safety, it is supplemented by safety equipment borrowed from the 308 hatchback, Lane Departure Warning System (LDWS) and the directional bi-Xenon headlamps. Similarly, in terms of secondary safety, the 308 RC Z uses the same impact protection structures, in particular the three impact absorption structures at the front, designed to provide a rigid structure which can deform in a controlled manner, maximising the absorption of impact forces.
