A futuristic superhero-inspired design, a 3.7 liter centrally-mounted hybrid V8 that develops a whopping 600 hp, a six-speed sequential gearbox, and a huge array of electronic technology: Peugeot has gone all-out in developing their Onyx concept-car. Visitors at the Mondial de Paris, which runs from September 29th to October 14th will certainly take notice.

The front-fenders and doors are covered by a stylishly designed copper sheet, while the remaining exposed outer-skin is dressed in black carbon-fiber. According to Peugeot officials '' the outer copper door-skin separates itself from the door-frame, therefore leaving an opening of a few centimeters, before pivoting around its rotational axis.'' It would be best to witness this on site in order to comprehend...

The interior is an ode to leather and felt; while the seats...what seats? They form a single solid structure with the carbon-fiber, very surprising! There are multiple cameras integrated into the outside rear-view mirror, the rear end and the headrests; what's more, the Onyx captures the kinetic energy and redistributes it during acceleration, adding an extra 80 horsepower.
