Auto Car | 2010 Peugeot EX1 Concept | 2010 Peugeot EX1 Concept will have its world premiere at the Mondial de l’automobile 2010 in Paris later this month. It came same with a celebration of the marque’s 200th anniversary. Peugeot’s thoughts are that of an “extreme dream car” which demonstrates the “exciting possibilities for electric power”. Peugeot EX1 Concept also show debut in Paris Motor Show on September 30.
It have 0.90m in height and 1.77m in width, makes use of a monocoque body structure manufactured from a carbon/honeycomb composite to optimize weight and rigidity. The design of the water droplet-shaped body incorporates Peugeot’s new design language, including the “floating” front grille and flowing contours.
The car’s suspension employs a drop link double wishbone arrangement up front and a single “swinging arm” linked to a centrally mounted shock absorber which is connected via a rocker arm at the rear.
The Peugeot EX1’s motivation comes from a pair of electric motors, one on each axle, thus offering four-wheel drive. Each electric motor produces a peak output of 125kW, for a combined 250kW or 340HP and 240Nm (177 lbs-ft) of constant torque. Energy is provided by a high-output lithium-ion battery.
The EX1 concept car is powered by two electric motors, one located at the front and the other at the rear of the vehicle.The maximum combined peak power is 340 hp while the constant maximum torque is 240 Nm at the front and rear. This mechanical architecture optimises the vehicles weight distribution while providing a the four wheel drive system.
The monocoque body structure is manufactured from a carbon/honeycomb composite to optimise weight and rigidity. It also incorporates all of the mounting points for the car’s mechanical components. The suspension consists of a drop link double wishbone arrangement at the front. The rear suspension features a single “swinging arm” linked to a centrally mounted shock absorber which is connected via a rocker arm to provide a variable damping rate.
The driver and passenger climb into the passenger compartment through a reverse opening door to gain access to the two sports bucket seats.
This unusual arrangement instantly immerses the occupants in a futuristic and hi-tech environment, as does the on-board instrumentation (instrument panel screens for each occupant showing in particular the vehicle’s instantaneous performance) and the chosen materials (e.g. “pure” metals and embossed leather).
The driver, seated at ground level in a driving position similar to a racing car (legs outstretched), drives the vehicle by using two control handles, providing an experience similar to that of an aircraft pilot or when playing a video game.
As well as the presence of safety harnesses inside the car, the occupants are also protected by the height of the carbon passenger cell, which has sufficient overhead clearance to include a roll-over protection bar.
Similarly, the wind deflector allows the car to be driven on a daily basis without a helmet. On racing circuits, where a helmet must be worn, Peugeot Style has teamed up with Ruby helmets to produce two specific helmet designs.
