Auto Car | 2000 Peugeot 607 Feline | First seen at the 2000 Geneva Autoshow, the big cat inspired Peugeot 607 Feline was designed at the La Garenne Design Centre.The 607 Feline is a 4.07 m long, 1.88 m wide, 1.19 m high wedge. The 2.58 m wheelbase allows extremely short overhangs which reinforce the car’s dynamic shape.
Usually concept cars are created to preview and perfect upcoming models. The 607 Feline didn’t follow this trend, since it was designed after the introduction of the 607.
The very latest technology is used in the form of a single-piece carbon fibre body structure, multiplex wiring and direction seeking headlights. This 607 is equipped with a 3.0 litre V6 (210bhp) petrol engine, radical double A-strut suspension, front rocking levers and a flexible cross-member at the rear, confirming that this is a unique and eminently drivable modern car.
Peugeot’s original brief for the 607 Feline was to concieve a luxurious, racy roadster with some design elements borrowed from the 607 sedan, such as the front end and the rear light cluster. All four wheels are pushed to the extreme corners of the Feline, possible for a one-off concept, but unfortunately unfeasible for most production cars.
This carbon fiber concept was introduced at Geneva in 2000. Retro-innovations include doors that slide into the front fenders, much like the Kaiser Darrin, and direction seeking headlights, much like the Tucker Torpedo.
Its brutish beauty, will subdue you with its elegance and pizzazz. Feline is unique! It's a breathtaking study of proportions, design and engineering.You can't miss the beauty of its piercing look, or its sporty overtones and, even less, its technological and styling innovations. In its confirmation of the modernity of the 607, the Feline symbolises the pride of a manufacturer and of an entire team.
