Eco Factor: Concept car powered by electricity.
Concept car designer Liviu Tudoran has designed an eco-friendly electric car for Peugeot that complements the Lion image that we see in the car brand’s logo. The car, dubbed the Peugeot Leonin, is based on an electric engine mounted in the back of the car which is powered by a battery supply unit that rests under the front hood.Tudoran says that if developed, his car could reach a speed of about 160 km/h and will have a range of around 500km, which seems fantastic for a car that has been designed especially for short distance travel in a crowded city. The car’s body will be made from aluminum composite, hard plastic, carbon fiber and glass. Instead of an interior rearview mirror, the car will be equipped with an LCD screen in the main console that shows the video captured by the hi-resolution camera mounted on the back of the car.Basically, the idea of the designer is that the car should be a hybrid with a battery under the hood and the motor at the read of the car. Because more and more people are buying vehicles, this car would be perfect for a crowded city. The Peugeot Leonin concept could reach speeds of around 160 km/h hour or 100 mph. The main materials which could be used for this project are carbon fiber and glass, but this is still just a concept. Like many other futuristic cars, the look is still pretty unfamiliar, but I am sure that this car would be able to achieve a great success in a few years. more pictures after the jump
