Peugeot 208 Hybrid FE Concept official photos


 These are the first two official photos of the Peugeot 208 Hybrid FE Concept which will premiere in a couple of weeks at IAA in Frankfurt.
Reports are indicating the concept will be 440 lbs (200 kg) lighter than the base 1.0-liter VTi version which weighs 2,149 lbs (975 kg). It looks slightly different than the regular car as it has received a rear diffuser to improve air flow, aero-optimized 19-inch alloy wheels wrapped around in narrow tires, along with cameras which have replaced the conventional exterior mirrors.
Both suspensions consist of a fiber glass "blade" working as a wishbone, spring and anti-roll bar combined. The hybrid module (including 90-cell lithium-ion battery pack) is adapted from the 908 Hybrid 4 Le Mans and provides 40 bhp (30 kW) sent via a semi-automatic 5-speed transmission. It should travel on electric power for up to 12 miles (19 km)
The electric motor will work together with the 1.0-liter engine taken from the base model which has been bored to 1.2 liters and has also received a more efficient combustion as a result of the Atkinson cycle. The 208 Hybrid FE Concept is also expected to feature racing cylinder head and diamond carbon coating, while the regular fuel tank was replaced by a smaller unit which has a capacity of 20 liters.
The car should be capable of reaching 62 mph (100 km/h) in eight seconds and will return 135 mpg UK (112.4 mpg US or 2.1 liters / 100 km) with CO2 emissions standing at 49 g/km.
Full details should be disclosed anytime soon.
