Peugeot 20Cup Concept


The Peugeot 20Cup is a very interesting car..Part motorbike, part roadster, this concept is one of the most interresting cars from 2006. It has two wheels in the front and one massive one in the back. It has the same engine as the future Peugeot 207GTi. This car has no doors therefore you have to climb into it, like a F1 racer car. The car also has space for only two people. The cockpit is divided in two, therefore space is tight. Since there is no room for a dashboard, a touch screen in the middle of the steering wheel beautifully replaces it. Now you may be thinking, how am i supposed to read what the speed is if the wheel...turns......? Well the indications on the screen always stay up-right, whatever the angle of the steering wheel.
The car weighs only 580kg, and uses its 170bhp to go from 0-60mph in less than five seconds. Amazingly, this car's 293bhp-per-tonne power-to-weight ratio is better than that of a Porshe 911 Carrera S!!! The car may also not look like it but it has a good stability and hadling, but with most of the weight in the front, driving on wet surfaces can be harder...so make sure you are a proper driver. Overall this is a beautiful car, unfortunately it is just a Concept, only two have been built, and therefore will not be made for road uses..Yes I know...how sad..
