The Peugeot EX1 Concept is an electric concept car introduced and made by the French automaker Peugeot, presented at the 2010 Paris Motor Show. It has two engines that provide 250 kW (340 hp) and 480 Nm of torque.[1]
Übersicht
As part of Peugeot’s 200th anniversary celebrations, the brand’s design offices wanted to create a concept car, electrically powered.[2]
Design
Previous concept cars from Peugeot have been the Asphalte and 20Cup. The EX1 is a 2-door roadster that is shaped like a “water droplet”, with a rear section built around two closely set rear wheels.
The EX1 features stylistic design codes first presented on the SR1 concept in earlier 2010. The monocoque body structure is manufactured from a carbon/honeycomb composite to optimise weight and rigidity. The car is 0.90 metres high and 1.77 metres wide.
The doors actually contain part of a seat each, a bit like pokets, and you can get into your seat just by closing the door whitch is quite strange but also clever. Another feature is the screens behind the steering wheel that show the speedometer and rev counter ect. These are on see-through sheets of plastic-protecting-glass and they light up and appear like ordernary screens when you use them, but when turned off they are much less noticable.
The steering wheel to is different in a concept car way, very batman like, and instead of a wheel it is a rectangular shape that revolves around a centre piece like a steering wheel. It also has certain places where you put your hands that go round themselves like bike pedals, so it offers more steering capability. Again strange, but also quite clever.
Performance
It has broken six speed records for a vehicle weighing less than 1000 kg. From a standing start, the EX1 set the following times: 1/8 mile (8.89sec), 1/4 mile (14.4s), 500m (16.81s), 1/2 mile (23.85s), 1000m (28.16s), and 1 mile (41.09s).[3] It set a 0-60 mph run in 2.24sec and an overall top speed of 161 mph.[4]
In Taipingsi military airport in Chengdu, China, the EX1 improved those records with 7.08s for 1/8mile, 12.67s for 1/4mile, and 0–100 km/h at 2.24s[5][6][7][8]
