Auto Car | 1998 Peugeot 20Coeur Concept | Peugeot's 20Coeur is what you get when you try to put a maximum of motoring pleasure under one roof – a roof that transforms itself in less than 16 seconds! Harking back to Peugeot's own 402 Eclipse – a revolution when it came out in 1934 – this leisure car puts a new face forward, one that announces feline grace. The 20Coeur 's temperament is reflected in its compact dimensions and fluid contours: a meeting of understated power and sober elegance.

Why choose between a coupe and a convertible? With a removable hard-top and interior styling that builds on the exterior, the is two cars in one - a winning concept.

First there's the name, which fascinated visitors to the car show as thoroughly as the team that built it. The two first numbers, 2 and 0, were selected to prefigure the 206 project. And the Heart ("Coeur") perfectly symbolises the objective of this concept car: you'll fall in love and lose your heart to it.

Peugeot is proud of its long tradition of stunning coupes and convertibles, and, anchored in that history, this time the group brought attractiveness to the fore while dealing with a considerable technical challenge: to get a hard-top into the trunk of a coupe. In addition, when the was being conceived, the 206 was ready, and various technical constraints had to be integrated without altering the general shape of the new Peugeot model that was just about to be launched.
